1996 Caterham HPC 230 BHP
My best friend is selling his Caterham after recently purchasing a new toy.
This is a reliable, fast and good looking Vauxhall HPC. (230bhp with 180 pound-foot of torque)
These cars have solid residual values and can be used and maintained easily with parts readily available.
1996 with 60,000 miles. Engine has done less than 5000 since rebuild.
Bodywork is not a show car but it’s an honest car with a solid straight chassis that has been very well maintained. The engine is an all new engine built by WRE.
