Caterham Supersport 1.6 K-series/Type 9 Engine+Box Package

This package was purchased from a salvaged Caterham 1.6 Supersport.  I've had this stored for many years with the intentions of installing into a Locost chassis which I have now sold. This is a great setup, ideal for someone starting off a new project.

Package consists of;-

1) 1.6 Rover K-series Engine with distributor.
Caterham Supersport Camshafts
Caterham Supersport Sparkplug cover
Caterham Shallow Sump
Positive Oil Pressure system - Supplies a positive head of pressure to the oil pump to prevent pump starvation and is next best thing to a drysump system, similar to the 'Accusump'.
Caterham Clutch to suit mating with Type 9 gearbox.
2) Ford Type 9 gearbox. This feels very tight and coming from a Caterham production line it will have been a new/refurbished unit originally therefore relatively low mileage. Includes the pivot fork and clutch release bearing.

3) Caterham K-series/Type 9 Cast bellhousing

4) Starter motor with spacer to mount correctly.

5) Type 9/English Axle Propshaft. Unfortunately one of the grease nipples has snapped off whilst being moved about. I can take measurements if required.

6) Engine Mounts for Caterham chassis.


There are no manifolds or harness wiring included although being a distributor engine I was going to run it on bike carbs to keep things simple.

Please do not hesitate to contact for any further information and I'll try my best to help.

I'm asking £1000 for the whole package.


Please see the eBay listing below for images.
