Potential owner

Living in Jersey I have not had the pleasure of getting the car services by the factory yet as it will cost me £400.00 for a ferry then 2 nights hotel, and all the other bits and pieces you have to pay out for. I have to budget £1000.00 just to get it to them.  What I have done so far is found a garage locally where people with caterhams take there cars for a service and asked what people thought of the garage.  I have to admin he charges £57.00 per hour and takes really good care of the car.  He only test drives it when I am in the car.  I get the car serviced 2-3 times a year.  I do about 6000 miles and about 4 track days a year.

All I can say is that Ariel have built a superb quality machine using the Honda engine which is proven to be reliable.  Don't be afraid to use a garage just do your research first and make sure he only test drives it when you are in the car.

Looks quite a nice machine. I'd give the factory a quick call, give them the number plate & they should be able to give you the history.
