2025 WCM S2K & SUPER SEVEN REPAIR & UPGRADE MANUAL - COPIES EMAILED TO YOU FOR FREE! Simply send an email to bruceakopitz@gmail.com, and I will email you a copy and add you to the Spring mailing list. ATTACHED is the final revision of this now 200+ page manual. I am working on other projects at this time, and I expect them to consume all my energies going forward. Also, pursuant to a whim, I replaced my last Super Seven with a unique and authorized Lola T70 Spyder reproduction, so I am no longer able to provide any personal inputs regarding Seven repairs and upgrades. Thus, I am looking to pass the Word version of this manual to another Seven enthusiast, who can maintain it by adding repair and upgrade articles resulting from his own experiences, and the experiences of contributors. The time required to edit and promulgate will only be a few hours per year, unless you choose to do more. Following are the primary tasks associated with maintaining this manual: Add any new articles or cool graphics to the manual, incorporate their page numbers into the table of contents, and email a PDF version to everyone on the contact list once per Spring. If anyone has interest in maintaining this manual, please let me know, and I will pass along my secret decoder ring and all other assets and information associated with the task. This manual began as a diary of my own Super Seven repairs and upgrades performed over a period of about 40 years. I have enjoyed compiling it and helping other Seven enthusiasts. Thanks!

Well done! Gorgeous silhouette (Enzo said the most beautiful in the world)! The motor upgrade was a great idea for a driven car, and often does not negatively impact the classic car sales price. I owned a drophead coupe 4.2 liter Series II, but I was young and my only upgrades were rust repair and a sports exhaust. You are wise to avoid any possibility of salt. Rust went through XKE's like snails through lettuce.

You should consider a membership, so you could display your car's image in your signature. Sounds comely. I looked at your album. I have a soft spot for those old TR3's and 4's. Were all those Caterhams yours at some point?

Hey, great memories. I remember, at Watkins Glen, we were able to stand up right against the infield armco near the end of the long straight - no fencing or other barriers. The 1,000 hp Porsche 917's would rocket past so fast, we could not turn our heads quick enough to keep up. Your car is terrific, too. I also owned a Super Sprint with the Kent motor and dual two-throat Webers. The throttle response in that car was amazing. Once, a V8 TVR Tuscan came alongside on a boulevard, and wanted to race. His exhaust rattled my rear view mirror! The road was clear, so we both punched it. I was amazed - my Super Sprint dusted that car by a couple lengths. Mine was green with yellow center stripe - what about yours?

Two years since my last post regarding this car, and I am still not in possession of the Lola replica. Restorations usually take years, and this one turned out to be no different. The bodywork and paint are completed. The cars mechanicals are all inspected or rebuilt. The engine block and heads were fine (only 462 miles since original build), but the four Weber two-barrels had to be rebuilt. The brakes were factory rebuilt and powder-coated. The wheels were all polished and powder-coated. Wheel bearings were repacked. The frame was resprayed and treated inside the tubes with rust preventer. The exhaust was reconfigured, powder-coated, and will be connected to a muffler with an electric straight-thru bypass valve (I hear this is thunderous, so not sure where I can use it). All the fluids, belts, hoses tires and lights (now LED) are new. I am advised of an early spring delivery - here's hoping!

I am passing this info to my wife momentarily. Thanks and take care, Bill!

A terrific shot of a terrific garage and car collection! Three cars deep - I did not deduce that from your initial information. And 100% convertibles, which is ideal for your South Carolina weather and truer to our transportation roots (find me a coupe among all the Arabians, Mongolians, Quarter horses and so on that men have ridden for nearly 5,500 years!). I can't think of a single constituent of your stable that I would not want to own. I am currently garage-limited to three fun cars, and because of time and other factors, that may be the extent of my collection. My wife is amenable to moving down to the Carolinas if and when we sell our business, as she has a brother that has retired there. We may become relative neighbors in a year or three. I would love to see your garage in person. Any problems with your area, such as violent storms, earthquakes, forest fires, unruly animals, poisonous snakes or spiders? Michigan is a surprisingly risk-averse state - basically, none or very little of the above. We have the rare Massasauga rattler, and northern black widow and brown recluse spiders, but all three are more common to wooded areas. We experience nearly none of the rest of the list. And my Lola replica is STILL being restored! Close, but absolutely no cigar. It now looks like a January finish date and early spring delivery. I have never purchased restoration services before, so my surprise at the delays is a consequence of my inexperience - I now understand two years to be an interval more ordinary than unusual. The car is in final assembly. All the subassemblies have been checked or rebuilt, all the panels painted (Stellantis Hydro Blue Pearl Metallic) and so on. Should look very much like the included photos of A J Foyt's T70. Take care, and have fun driving during our winter!

Hilarious! I didn't have that email for you. Hey, if he contacts you twice, will you give him twice as much information?

I met another recent WCM owner in the Detroit area, who already has his car doing 1:14's at Waterford Hills - that's really quick around Waterford. He's made a number of sensible modifications and might be another good person to converse with. Nathan Crosty, nathancrosty@gmail.com.

ATTACHED is a Caterham story, in narrative poem style (basically, a story with fewer words and more intense imagery). I have owned a variety of Super Sevens for the greater part of 45 years, and I tried to capture the magic of those decades - the ability of a Seven to ignite and vivify any drive, the synergy of a Seven and a warm spring day, the sheer joy of simply observing a Seven. I hope you enjoy the humor, the insights and the music of the words. Your comments are welcomed. ode to a Super Seven.pdf

Last shirt:

Below are images of five of the remaining shirts:

NOTE - THESE SHIRTS HAVE BEEN SOLD, BUT THE BUYER IS EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY WITH THE PAYMENT PROCESSOR. PLEASE CHECK BACK AGAIN THE WEEK OF APRIL 15TH, 2024 TO SEE IF THEY COME AVAILABLE AGAIN. Twelve carefully curated Caterham t-shirts for sale. With the exceptions of the cartoon Caterham imprint and the evolution of man designs (2 shirts), all are the best available, $25 premium shirts (the two exceptions mentioned are standard cotton shirts not offered with higher quality options). Except for the two aforementioned exceptions, most are cotton and synthetic blends (a few are very light, fully synthetic). Sizes for all are LARGE. Tags have been cut (I hate when they stick out). New condition. All shirts worn only about three times each (some fewer). Always washed in gentle cycle with cold water, mild detergent, fabric softener, no bleach (not even Oxy) and hung on hangars to dry. All imprints show no fading or wear, despite a couple washed-out photos. Stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled environment. No discernable wear evident in any of the shirts. I will take the collection back and refund any buyer who proves this contention incorrect. I could only include six images with this ad, so I will send images of the remaining six to any interested party. Please include your email in your response. A while ago I sold my Caterham and moved to a slightly larger and heavier lightweight - a Lola T70 replica, for which I have already assembled a shirt collection. I intend to keep the Lola and its ultimate performance, and it is a shame to have this great collection of curated shirts simply stored away. $100 plus careful shipping. Whoever pays the $100 plus shipping will also receive a freshly-washed, unfaded Caterham ballcap in perfect condition. This 13-item collection cost over $300 plus individual shipping. Thanks!
