Interesting.
I did not realise until quite recently that we are now up to Euro6 spec.
So 4 is still way behind the times.

I understand that all Caterhams are IVA registered.

I believe the main change will be to do with emissions and OBD Stage 1 will be required. It is very likely that OBD diagnostics will be used in some countries, as it is now for cars in Germany, to do the equivalent of MOTs. This means that any alterations to the intake and exhaust systems may become almost impossible. More information at http://transportpolicy.net/index.php?title=EU:_Motorcycles:_Emissions And at http://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/2016/...4-really-means/I don't think this will mean any huge changes except for electronics and details some of which will already be in place to meet the Californian regulations. Just another development headache for Morgan.

May be S & S will soon be working on a four-valve cylinder head like H-D.

The good news: my dealer has now told me that my car will be going into build a week earlier than he previously said and so should commence being built in week 25 (w/c 19 June). I will be doing a factory visit on 29 June so if anyone would like me to look out for their car while I am there, please let me know.
The bad news: I understand from another TM member that, according to his dealer, there are 18 3 wheelers scheduled for build starting in June and that will be the end of the UK cars in their current configuration - after that, in the words of his dealer, there would be significant changes required to meet Euro 4 fully, which, without knowing the details, his dealer suggested would significantly change the character of the car. I heard that those last cars would be supplied without a C of C, perhaps you should check.

Many thanks, Keith. No plans to export so not a concern for me.

Collecting my car after 12 weeks I sked why it took so long. The dealer said they had been busy with Euro4 spec development. I said S&S will do most of that & its exhaust matching. They had been talking to one of the M3W development people & he said there were changes. An increase in ride height by maybe 3 or 4 inches and a bit bigger but essentially the same look. This is not official info & only a chat. Make of that what you will & wait for an official announcement.
