It's a narrow-body chassis, however.

That's actually pretty cool if not scary-fast. I bet it sounds amazing going through the gears. NP if it stays below 20k.

Of course, you could save up and build enough courage for the Cossie options from Caterham themselves.

That works too!
Or get some magic Doritos.

A 240HP NA engine with factory forged bottom end proven over 800 HP boosted and 8000rpm+ redline? I don't see anything wrong with that pairing. In NA trim it will take miles upon miles without ever having an issue, and with a little boost it will make even a hardcore driver wee a little opening it up on a corner exit. I think it would just be a matter of preference if someone were to debate 20 vs 22. I liked both.
Those really are remarkably good engines/transmissions. Thankfully they used a different diff... but it looks VLSD so it's only a durable upgrade.

Granted the F22c is a great motor, I think this seller is a bit silly. It probably is a fantastic drive but he probably has the reserve set around $20-22k. I just wonder if these are actually a good chassis. I also wonder who built the car, was it a turnkey order or a kit put together. The blue writing on the trans that you can barely see in a picture doesn't speak to my confidence in the running gear being factory fresh from the start. . . If it were to go below $20k it would be a decent buy but over that just seems too much to me.
