If he ships you might even buy the set and then resell 3 to other owners looking for them stateside. Last sale thread here was in 2020 (he might even have them?) Otherwise somebody was looking for them in 2019

Reach out to seller in UK and ask for shipping Caterham 7 HPC 16” Alloy Wheels | eBay Depending how much you want it finding one single one might take years.

Oooh nice. I dig it. My only problem is that since having a Fitbit type device I've stopped wearing watches even though I like to and have a small collection of budget pieces I like. I've even considered having the fitbit on my leg through the day or having it on the dominant arm while wearing a style watch on the non dominant.

Pretty solid advice. After riding bikes for many years I find that that my driving habits are drastically more defensive than many other people I ride with. There's a saying in the bike world that Cemetaries are filled with riders who had the right of way. Be seen, be predictable, always assume that you're not seen.

No affiliation but might be worth as a group buy or maybe meet with some parts at NJMP to save a few bucks https://www.sevensandclassics.com/online-shop/new-parts/carbon-parts

Caterham 7 tribute - 17 years of fun

My new Caterham Seven 420R with Sadev gearbox, ex-Sir Chris Hoy

There is also this recent post

I don't quite recall if the replacement # matched my # directly but if it was green lit by Redline I didnt question it. Has been working fine for me.

This is what I got for my Zetec from Redline FUEL FILTER - K Series 1 WF8064

This thing belongs in a museum! Wow.

Oh alright. That's similar to my setup. If I'm going to switch im considering going with the integrated unit as well. Does look like a nicer unit than I have however especially with all the mounts

This one is at my work. Pretty sure driven by a pretty high up person at a very large company.

It's a reasonable conclusion. What's the dream car? You're still more than welcome to hang out here and ask questions. Lots of "seasoned" car people here who don't mind shelling out advice. I personally still remember being in highschool with a Jeggs catalog circling all the things I wanted to put on my CRX with no rhyme or reason. My shop teacher at the time was smart and talked some sense into me. It appears I didn't need shiny hoses and an oil cooler (etc) on a stock 1.6 liter single over head cam motor.

Bargain. Have you thought of trying to list it on BaT?

Can you post picture of radiator and cooler? I was debating on getting the joined unit for my 620R cone but not seeing anything on parts website for 400, just 420s.

It unfortunately does take decades and lots of money to become even a "regular knowledgeable" car guy and lots of funds to acquire tools to learn on your own stuff. I've been around cars all my life, worked at an autopart store (forces you to learn a lot) and worked on everything I own. Build up my tool collection over time and yet I still find myself lost troubleshooting basics on the Caterham and I still don't know anything about tuning. While I again encourage taking this on as a learning opportunity, I also want to echo what a lot of other experienced people are saying and why they are saying it as I've been down this road. Honestly for a first project a Cross Kart will be a better idea. FAR easier and cheaper to build. Center seating. Faster. Just not road legal in most states without hoops. Although in your state it might be easy. This leads me to a question that you're unlikely to answer honestly at your age. You want to build this for yourself or do you want to be seen in one of these by others? Both are valid and we are all guilty of both to some degree. In other words if you could have one complete for free right this moment would would you just want to drive it or you'd still want to go through process of building one? I ask because after being a bike for 20 years rider I've seen this 100 times with people wanting a bike and asking for advice. Most didn't want to actually ride but rather wanted to be seen as a rider by others on cool bike which is fine but at least they should honest with themselves. They end up on a scary fast cool looking bike thats uncomfortable and they never ride. You see all these bikes for sale that are 10 years old with 2k miles on them. The vanity only lasts so long until reality of situation sits in and owning a race bike as a regular commuter stops making sense.

Just read the beginning of the thread instead of trolling with the boat as a reaction to the flooded road. You've got quite a road ahead of you. Full disclosure I think I started my Locost build around 22 years old? I could do basic fabrication but welding etc I was reliant on my fabricator friend to help me through all the complications of the build and the project lived with him. I bought a prebuild Locost frame with Miata base and started fixing all the things wrong with it and slowly sourcing the parts. Time went on. There's no chance of these projects being done in a year or two and as time goes on interest vanes and priorities change making it less and less likely to be done. Now nearly 15 years later I own a Caterham because the project never got done and while I couldn't even dream of affording one at 22, I was in a position to do so in my 30's so I sold the project to somebody else and learned a lot along the way. I know that nobody who starts these projects thinks they will be in the 90% that never finish them but in reality odds aren't in their favor. I certainly always thought mine would be done and I'd be driving it around yet I also fell into the statistic. Locost forums are well aware how many projects get started and how many actually get to display their finished work. Numbers speak for themselves. With that said, regardless whether it gets done or not I enjoyed the adventure and learned a lot so I don't mean to discourage you from going through with it, just to have some realistic expectations. Using a Miata IRS is a good idea that can save you a lot of headaches and many people did use it in their Locosts. Factory designed perfect engineering for suspension and a prefabbed piece that everything bolts up to. Decision fatigue and project creep will be a real problem. A car has A LOT of parts even a simple one like a 7 and when you build your own you have a logic of "might as well do the best when I start from scratch, why waste money on something inferior" and that logic is overwhelming when you do it over and over again and have to research every little things, seats, wheels, suspension, brakes, pedals (floor vs ceiling mount), shifter, motors, inboard suspension etc etc etc. My advice is keep is as simple of a build as possible, dont go crazy with a bike motor or similar. Miata platform is your best bet. Any engine in a working 7 will be better than a dream engine in a non working 7. If you're so inclined and want to keep practicing your fabricating skills you can always swap the motor down the road. I understand the adventure is half the fun and budget is an issue at your age but sourcing parts can be an overwhelming task and it will obviously cost you money. If you can get a leg up on this project from the getgo you have a much better chance of finishing said project. Why don't you reach out to the owner here The existing frame might not be of interest to you if you want to build your own (or it might be? who knows frame hasnt been posted yet) but you seem like a perfect candidate to take over and finish the late husbands project. I know it's far away but navigating a distance battle is a lot easier than navigating sourcing all the parts etc.

Time to build this

Thank you for sharing. Seems like he had a good idea of what he wanted and got himself a very solid assembly of parts for his build. Lots of OEM Caterham parts or otherwise high end company parts. You're right parting this out would be extremely tedious. It might find a while to find a buyer for it all as one but if you're willing to sit on the parts right buyer will come along especially if you're being more than fair with the asking price. One caveat for you is, whether or not you care that the parts go to a "good home" to become complete or just a new life. If it's the latter, with a price too low you'll likely entice people who won't finish the build but will rather see the value of selling things off one by one for profit. End result is a second life for individual parts but not for the spirit of the project. I say that as somebody who sat for a long while on a not complete Locost project myself with slightly less parts and likely a less complete frame. Very hard to find a right buyer for something like this but they are out there.

Firstly, my condolences. Unfortunately an arbitrary description will be a hard sell and more info and pictures will be needed. You will not need to know what they all are but ideally at least year of his 7 if he had one will be a good start and other paperwork that can lead to possibly us identifying what engine it had in it. Was it a Locost (self build frame and everything), an actual lotus 7? A Caterham? Other? If you're not sure on what pricing of some of the things is people here can help you identify them and estimate worth. Depending exactly what he had a bulk purchase by one person might happen but it would need to be identifiable for people to know what they are traveling to get and price would need to be low enough to take on the risk of unknown parts from a seller with limited knowledge to the parts of their history. You can take pictures on your phone and click "add files" button below the post and attach them to the post. Makes it pretty easy.

I feel the same way to a degree but to be fair the same people that don't understand the nuance that AI can be wrong and needs critical thinking and double checking are the same people that repost obviously fake stories otherwise and photoshopped things before AI was ever a thing. At least I can get some benefit out of AI, the people that fall for it aren't a concern of mine and are a lost cause just like they weren't before AI was around.

Some more AI generated garbage. Very strange Uncanny valley in full effect. It's getting pretty good but still... off. Looks like owners just customized real units 2025 Caterham Seven: Lightweight, Powerful, and Pure Driving Thrill

Then your ban is the sacrifice I'll be willing to make
