COLLECTING A CATERHAM 620R !

No idea. I just saw TX plates in pictures OP appears to have some spottings around Port Aransas and some around Texas Motor speedway which are quite far away from each other.

THE ALL NEW CATERHAM SUPER SEVEN

I have nothing to add other than I was excited to see this build when I saw it posted on reddit quite some time ago. It got a lot of praise back then!

+1 on straight cut whine. 5 out of my 6 gears are straight cut (not counting reverse) and it's quite a fun noise to get used to. I can see how it would be concerning in just 1st however.

Is there an air filter mounting plate included too that's in the first shot? How about the air filter itself? The throttle cable is coming in from the front of the engine in your orientation setup right? Dimentions of the velocity stacks?

Spring(ish) bump! As upstate NY is getting 1ft of snow +...

Mine looks different than both of those, but the car is inaccessible currently for a picture.

Calling all Zetec owners. How happy are you with the motor? What are your plans for it? What do you put down for power if you have ever dyno'd it. It's a stout motor but not the most powerful one with a power ceiling, especially compared to the Duratec. We all strive for a little more power and there are multiple avenues to get to it. ITB's, raceline build, turbo, supercharged (seems to be SV only option), cams, SVT or even swapping for Duratec. I bring this up because I'm at the crossroads above. My Zetec doesn't seem to be too healthy putting out 130whp on ITB's and other work even after tuning and replacing everything I could think of. It was a double digit dyno health condition before being tuned. I think if I had to start all over I'd simply get myself a raceline build like others have done but I'm somewhat committed to other options at this point and will try to shoe horn a Rotrex SC into the chassis one of these summers and see how that goes. Very open to discussion on the matter and opinions. 200whp seems like an impossible goal without FI or Raceline on these motors.

As of 5 years ago in my communication with him, Chip has said that he's "pretty much retired". The business might still be around under new command however, I can't be certain of that.

Going back to the original question, the market for a new 7 manufacturer is going to be very very small with small margins. I'd wager that even if you could design a superior Caterham type replica for cheaper and have it stateside you would be bemused at the fact that it's not selling and people are buying new Caterhams instead for more money. The value is in history, support, stories and the aura around and behind an established old brand and they still struggle to sell maybe 50 units state side a year due to regulations, difficulties registering and niche ambiguity of the vehicle itself. As others have said for most who simply want an open experience a Slingshot or even a Morgan are more obvious and easier answers for people to get themselves into. For people who want performance things like Atom are still a very popular version. It's essentially the next evolution of a modern Seven type car in different engine layout configuration. Didn't Trex's had a steering wheel to begin with? Man those were the coolest thing in early 2000's.

I was semi offering. I recently browsed Chris Harris's new auction website and saw some interesting units. Wanted to share but didn't have an appropriate area to do that in and didn't want to start a dedicated thread. This was an interesting unit I thought (less than 25 years old) https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2005-caterham-csr-260 Other old listings https://collectingcars.com/?query=caterham&page=1&refinementList[stage][0]=sold

Is there any value for adding UK 25 year old 7s listing? Pound conversion is favorable and maybe some will be inclined to go the import route

That's like a hillbilly version of James May's Caterham used in Madagascar special With that said, a rear engine 7 I'm sure is very... interesting to drive.
