    Hi kitcat.....my old birkin has what consider relatively small rotors w wilwood calipers and Ate rear drums. Maybe mt bike racing experience with twin 320mm brembo discs has me jaded but late braking in the 7 just doesn't seem to have the feel I want. I think I'll look into the conversion kit. Thanks to you and croc for your highly valued input Cheers Don

    Thanks kitcat...I kinda figured that would be the case...thanks for you input....do you have any experience w brake upgrades for an early birkin....I'd like four wheel discs...thanks Don

    Thank you...yes there is no data or vin plate. The seller knows zero about the car. I'm surprised that the build is that old. In my opinion, the build looks a little rough with that wood dash etc. but I was thinking if price is right it might make a fun track day car with some work

    Croc I didn't see your comment about the brakes..sorry....so my take is that you feel it's a decent track day car or scca racer but it will need gearbox soon. So seemingly low price of admission may end up not being so low after all. Thanks again for your detailed review of this car. Don

    Well just wondered what set up they were running? We're they adequate? I am assuming fourvwheel discs? Berm no, AP or wildwood? Thanks for your highly detailed commentary about the car. It's appreciated.....thanks, don

    Thanks Tom I'm learning the he's the guy! Thanks Don

    Thanks for that info....to the casual observer it seems that trans, clutch and even engine would need to be redone. What brakes were on the car?

    I folks...I need some of my experts to help me out. I'm interested to know if some body parts from caterham (non sv) would fit the original birkin? I'm interested in some carbon side doors, half tonneau, and rear cover. These are made to fit the cat....aren't the birkin and the cat models essentially series 3 copies. If so these should fit? Thanks, don

    Ha ha. You guys are having fun with my grill out there....thanks for your sage advice...I'm trying to "semi retire" but medicine doesn't seem to do well with that...lol. Yes I'll probably keep her...I didn't need much encouragement ....

    I've been around the block...owned many many cars and bikes...but one constant that stays with me is my unabashed love of the seven. I suppose it started when my dad snatched me in diapers from the grasp of my mom to take me in a fast ride in his series one......I supposed I'm doomed!

    Pretty pictures mean it might sell easier....we don't really want that.... All kidding aside I appreciate the comments. I threw it on eBay w admittedly relative poor presentation perhaps just get a feel for the market. I've been a longtime forum reader so I have seen some of the valuations. I also wanted to see how I would feel with the thought of her leaving....that isn't going over so well with me. My wife is right when she says " you won't be happen without a 7 in the garage". She's a smart lady. Cheers, Don

    Bill, thanks.....I just didn't want to come off as soundy cocky like that sounded. I lowered the reserve so we will see. I hope it doesn't go.. Don
  20. edxdoc
    Thanks for the posting. I'm the owner of the car. I don't recall using the term "ultra low reserve" however in any of my emails to you. I stated I didn't know the value but put reserve at 21 and said we shall see. Just wanted to clarify what was corresponded with you. Thanks

    Thanks for that note

    I'm a birkin owner but have had a longstanding fascination with the Westy v8. Can some of you kind folks with experience of these machines offer comments, criticisms, praise etc? Thanks in advance. Don
