Lovely Caterfield. What variety is it?
Caterham series 3 chassis HPC with de dion rear end and wide track front.
  • - Vauxhall XE 16v engine
    - Direct to head fuel injection driven by MBE967 ecu
    - Quaife HD straight cut g'box
    - Compomotive 3 piece magnesium wheels with Avon ACB10 tyres
    - Stack dash and datalogger
It was predominantly a race car before I got it as there is no way I could afford the box, wheels or dash system. Thankfully the previous owner threw money at it in the hope of going faster :)
 
Not my actual car, but same year, model and colour. If 21 year old me knew I was driving a Mondeo he'd kick my arse! :?

2005(05) Ford Mondeo ST TDCi

Niiice :cool: What do you think of the Essex vs the 2.8? I'll have another capri at some point, but it certainly won't be another 2.8, although it'll probably end up with a v8 in it anyway...
