Thanks guys - Wow! I feel I just stumbled into a fighter pilot's gathering. Having ridden in a Seven once and yet to drive, if there are reports of one seen driving around at 23 with the left blinker on-------- I think for this first set of tires I don't want "summer tires" that have to be stored above 15*, It drops below 0 here occasionally, don't want to be limited to a heated garage. And the sump is definitely a concern, don't have the car in my possession yet but it looked mighty close to me.

Thank you, Sorry guess this question is in the wrong place.

Just purchased 1998 Sprint with 1800 miles. Tire size 205/45/16 (I believe). Tire date stamp 1/1997 - think I'm in the market for tires! Street use, doubt enough miles to worry much about wear rating, but don't want tires I have to worry about cracking in the cold garage, or "pick up stones" sticky. There are Michelin's on it, must be stock. Recomendations? Thanks

Thank you Martin, I can only suggest one can't hesitate for long, we both did on this one it being apparently one of only two Caterhan/Miata's in existence. I also missed out on a car I wanted a few weeks back, because of unanswered concerns of the MA title law and because I hadn't even sat in a Seven - a member generously corrected that Eric

Have been in contact with Chris, we seem to disagree on what the new law means in practice. He advised titleing as a 19** Lotus - the law specifically prohibits that, although If the existing title said that, I would give it a shot - on the chance it would slip through (like Aidan). Is there any year that was considered the "ultimate" Lotus Super Seven? Might just as well call it that year.

Thank you Croc, I spent a lot of time digging in to the new (4/30/2012) MA laws, believe I know more than most, am aware of the links you provided, (and many more). I have been in contact with Aidenparte, his car is titled as a "Lotus" (and imported) was done before the new law deadline,( but still should have met the new law) I'm sure the RMV is clueless in practice. I was very worried about buying a car and not being able to register. I am confident it can be done, but confusion reins throughout the system, I suspect for a while there will be little consistency in it's application and I may be the first Caterham.

As a new owner I will have many questions, I have spent much time "mining information" on this site and know it to be helpful. As I start the wrestle with the MA RMV and their new laws on "Replicas". My first question is what year Lotus Seven does my 1998 Caterham Sprint "replicate" most? - any year I pick? The current Con.title is a "composite" so there is no chance of slipping it past as a "1967 Lotus".(something that is by law no longer a option) (d) Replica vehicles shall be titled as the year in which the vehicle was built and the make, model and year of the vehicle that is intended to be replicated. A label of “Replica” shall be applied to the title and registration card. Thanks

Martin, Sorry to break the news - but I bought the car today. I had known about it before you posted, also hesitated because of the Miata driveline. Decided to go for it Saturday - but because of a holdup on their end didn't get a down payment until this morning. You caused me a very nervous weekend! Drove the three hours down today and paid for it. Good luck on your hunt! Eric

Hope you didn't make a listing mistake - there is no reserve listed at the current bid of $12,469.00

Hi, I'm interested in a seven type car but have not seen one up close. Looking for a owner(s) nearby that would show me his car. I'm in south shore MA. Thanks
