History of a well
traveled Caterham!
Our Caterham Super
Seven was built in 2007 by Rocky
Mountain Sports Cars
(Colorado) and featured a
brand new 200HP Ford SVT engine,
a Caterham 6 speed, a 3.62:1 LSD
and upgraded brakes. The car was
finished in green and yellow
'Prisoner' livery.
In September 2013, with a little
over 6,000 miles on the clock, the
Caterham was caught in a
flash flood following
several days of torrential rain in Longmont, CO and
was written off as salvage by the
insurance company. The car was
repaired and back on the road just
weeks later and was subsequently
purchased at auction in Kingman,
Arizona in December 2013 by Windy
City Motorsports (IL). We bought
the car from Windy City
Motorsports who listed it on eBay
in February 2014.
The original Caterham Cars vin
number is SDKLDK5NS60050630 and
the car was assigned an additional
identification number, presumably
following whatever repairs were
needed after the flood, of
DRMVB0000156802M0. The car is
currently on Texas rebuilt title
using the later identification
number. Rather amusingly, the
title lists the car at 3,800 lbs
when its actual weight is less
than 1,400 lbs!
