Taber10 reference: "I don't have time for this project as I have to get started on the Lego Caterham I got for Christmas!' I believe the Caterham webb site says one should be able to assemble their car in about 60 hours, if just a bit handy. Do track your time, to see how you match up to their expectations.

A repeater, non-Seven. This time with a dealer (consignment I expect). This a much better presentation with many interesting period photos, including one showing the Hoyt mixing it up with a Seven. Others with the body off. I think it should be a bit heavier than a Seven, but the Volvo power train is an excellent choice. On balance, a good way to go vintage racing. http://motoringinvestments.com/listings/lotus-seven-like-hoyt-special-1961/

V6 Staulker on Craigs list http://dallas.craigslist.org/sdf/cto/5927239573.html I guess Croc must be doing the Holidays in Europe, or some little island.

WCM on BAT auction. http://bringatrailer.com/listing/2004-world-class-motorsports-ultralite-s2k/ I certainly hope Croc does not take too much time off tomorrow morning preparing for Santa duties. Need to do something with the morning coffee. Clean up the sleigh later.

6 cyl Stalker listed in Wacko, Texas. Obviously, the photos are from another part of the world. Titled, but without some street equipment. Built engine rather than a tired one. http://waco.craigslist.org/cto/5866773794.html

Another Seven on BAT auctions. This makes the second 7 in a few weeks. BAR might yet become a good value gauge? Ussually seem high to me, now that they concentrate on their auction. http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1988-caterham-super-7/ 1988 Caterham http://13252-presscdn-0-94.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Hartman_161015_0829-940x549.jpg

Mike Its the same Caterham I have been using for years over in UK and Europe for Silverstone, Spa Francorchamps, Dijon, Magny Cours, Angelsey, Donington, Brands Hatch, etc. I suppose I may as well stop reading this thread. Now I shall be depressed for a week. Have fun. Cheers, Mark

Only 6 days left to run up the bid. http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1959-lotus7-series-one/

Anybody that puts the Terlingua bunny on their car is OK by me.

First time I saw one of these, I was so impressed. Something a bit different for you track rats. http://bringatrailer.com/listing/mallock-mk-17-u2/ http://13252-presscdn-0-94.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/2010-01-01-00.00.00-67-1-940x705.jpg

No doubt Croc knows someone "over there" to check it out. Put together a group. Bob's your uncle!

Croc, have a great time in Italy. The red '63 Lotus was interesting. That Talbot Jr. must give a really marvelous view of the RR fender!

A nice Bifkin: http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/5702197906.html Yet another Birkin on BaT. We love our Birkins: http://bringatrailer.com/listing/2001-birkin-s3/

Croc said: 2016 Lotus 7 race car - interesting details. Ecoboost is an interesting modern engine choice. I find it a little strange that you are bidding on a production slot for a car order instead of a real car? I guess the shop needs the cashflow to fund the production? Many interesting details when you study the photos - definitely worth a closer look of the link. Well, it looks interesting, but a visit to the link was depressing. Web site 1/4 done. Photos of the same car (out in the weeds) and some bunch of sedans, and financing? Scarry. Wish all start-ups well.

Croc, If your invite to NJ includes air freight for the Birkin, from Dallas, I'm there! Your schedule made me tired just reading it.

Where are the pithy remarks? I guess we can let you slide just this once, Croc.

Regarding this last one: Another on Bringatrailer today http://bringatrailer.com/2016/06/20/...uper-seven-s2/ This gives me pause. It really looks original, but says replica, with no kit brand mentioned. (How long since anyone did a home built replica with a flat seat?) It made me think how easy it is to fence a stolen Seven, Just register it as a replica in your state. It really only entails going back and forth to the DMV until they are satisfied. Steal a Caterham (God forbid a Lotus), sell it as a Birkin or home built, etc. Am I paranoid or is it just my shady back ground?

Not sure if this is the same one as Croc has above, but at least there is a photo: https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/5643318395.html By the way, Croc, on this one - https://akroncanton.craigslist.org/cto/5637612251.html , you really should warn a brother to put on the safety glasses before looking.

And a Birkin in New Mexico: http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/5570900537.html

Cassandra, Do take Mike up on his offer. I doubt you can find a better counselor. If you are in the DFW area, we have several Birkin folks.

Blue Westfield: Right-hand drive, with 5,758 documented miles, 1600 CROSS FLOW ENGINE with Twin DELLORTO -40 CARBS, 4 speed manual trans, 4 new Tires, new clutch with receipt, includes wet weather gear, and full tonneau cover, well sorted, low mileage car, Adjustable coil overs, disc front drum rear, short throw shifter, Remote oil cooler, full Boot box finished with carpet, Westfield logo on seats, grill, shifter and horn button.. Have copies of UK MOT's back to 2007. Some cracking on the front of hood sides, small bubbles on right side front fender. Could use a carpet cleaning. http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/5529005762.html I didn''t look it up, but I'll bet it's in the Houston area, not Dallas. Don't see a Texas plate.
