Hi there All,
I have for sale a Caterham Quickshift Gear Lever...
It is surplus to requirements for a Bike Engine Car 
It is brand new and Caterham sell it for £101.40
It will be sent out insured and next day delivery.
It is already packaged and waiting to go, so no delays in postage if anyone wants it straight away! Cost for postage will be £8.48
And £50 for the lever itself.
Can take photo's of the lever itself if you want?
Cheers,
Joe

I don't need one, but it's a) shiny, b) there's an excellent saving on the new price, and c) there's the distinct possibility that
I could sell it on for £25 (UK postage inclusive) in 3 months time. Oh, what to do....

Oh go on Scotty. I'm sure Joe could raise the price so you could loose more when you re-sell it if that helps?

Would you do it for £75 and include the postage Joe?
Seriously though, I don't need it. Do you know anyone who could post it up on Blatchat... it'll shift within hours on there at that price
(in fact I'm surprised that no-one has bitten your hand off on here yet!). Bargain-tastic!

Maybe someone could post it onto Blatchat for me, or put a link up to show people this link?
Cheers,
Joe

Looks like a nice piece of kit, but at £101 or even £50, my money would be going on a Dave Andrews quickshift mod for the standard Type 9 lever...

£50 for a proven well-engineered one that gets used in high-end Caterhams or pay the same and fanny about making something that might work! I
think I know what I would be doing!

My thinking precisely!

I'm sure you could make something to do the same job, but the caterham one is a very nice bit of kit made by quaife with a spherical bearing
it would cost you more than £50 to make something as good!
(I've got the Quaife version for mine, I think the only difference is mine has an M10 thread and the caterham one has a 3/8" UNC)

As above, the sale had already been made... also, I did make one and it did work
Also, I did agree that it looks like a nice piece of kit
