according to the thread, there's believed to be only 3 of these in existance. I drove a lime green one at Ascari. The owner very kindly trusted me enough for a wee shotty and it really doesnt get much better than that tbh. Great car, great engine, just a shame its so damn expensive, it makes elise conversions look bargain basement

Would it not be easier to fit a S2000 (F20C) engine into a Caterham?

If the weights given in the PH thread are to believed then it is a good bit heavier than the Duratec which is a good bit heavier than the K series, and with a higher C of G. Possibly 30-50Kg heavier tahn a SLR k series.

Does the S2000 not rotate in the opposite direction?
