For Sale: Caterham CSR 260 – Factory Build, Track-Ready, Road-Legal

Offered for sale is a very special and properly sorted Caterham, originally built in 2006 as one of the first factory-produced CSR 200 models, featuring the new tubular chassis and pushrod front suspension.

In its first year, the car was purchased through Caterham Czech Republic and sent directly to the UK to Minister Power, Caterham’s official engine specialist, for a full conversion to CSR 260 race specification. The entire process is documented with original invoices.

In 2018, a complete engine rebuild was carried out using the same spec components to restore the engine to its full original performance. Then in 2025, the car received a full electrical system upgrade including:

• a brand-new wiring harness

• a modern ECUMaster Black ECU

• and a new Ecumaster ADU5 digital dash.

The car was professionally tuned on an engine dyno and now produces 277 hp at 7000 rpm and 284 Nm of torque.

🧠 Engine Maps & Power Modes:

The engine now has three selectable maps:

• Eco mode (174 kW) – optimized for technical inspection emissions or wet road driving

• Normal mode (177 kW) – ideal for spirited road or backroad use

• Race mode (203.9 kW / 277 hp) – requires 100-octane fuel and is tuned for maximum performance on track

To increase long-term durability, maximum RPM was slightly reduced compared to the original CSR 260, but torque and throttle response were improved significantly at lower revs.

🛠 Ongoing Care & Upgrades:

Total mileage is 25000 km, with 2000 km since the engine rebuild.

I’m the third owner, and since acquiring the car in 2018, it has received continuous care and yearly upgrades – always with genuine Caterham parts through the official Czech Caterham dealer, who also handled servicing. Major upgrades include:

• Dry sump oil system with upgraded oil pump

• Full Nitron Race suspension (dampers + springs)

• Propshaft rebuilt, new limited-slip diff with shorter final drive for better acceleration on tight circuits (original diff included)

• Heavy-duty clutch

• Synchros replaced on 2nd and 3rd gear

• Updated livery/wrap in 2022

• And much more…

All invoices and documentation are available upon request.

📄 Legal & Practical:

• Valid Czech registration (SPZ)

• MOT / Technical inspection passed

• Fully road-legal and ready to drive

• Sale includes full specification sheet, accessories, and spares

📍 Location: Prague, Czech Republic

💰 Price: CZK 1,300,000 (~€52,000 / £44,200)
