I'll take this. PM sent

Looking for the following: - S3 Sidescreens - 13 inch wheels (will consider both equal size and staggered) - S3 Caterham Leather Seat with Headrest Please let me know if you have any of these laying around. Thanks

Thanks for the offer! I ended up buying an S3 at auction. Fortunately it has the leather seats (more room on the sides) but it is still a super tight fit. I just got done installing lowered floor pans and the FIA track bar. My head is no longer the highest point in the vehicle =)

2014 Audi R8 V10 Spyder - to/from work and occasional top-down road trips with the wife, pre-kiddo. DCT transmission and frankly a bit boring after a while, which motivated me to buy a couple toys with manual transmissions (2002 Beck 550 Spyder and a 2000 Caterham 7). Currently @ 42500 miles with a 10 year 120k mile aftermarket warranty... try getting that on a Huracan. 2012 Land Rover LR4 - the defacto kid mobile. Generally I really like it, but the maintenance costs are absurd if you take it to a dealership. I wish they still made them, I would buy a new one. Not a fan of the new Discovery.

Very cool, thanks!

Congrats, nice car!

Definitely going to try one very soon ... when the car I already bought gets dropped off on the 15th. Wish me luck!

Now you guys are really freaking me out about shoe size =) I have a size 12 foot. I have driving shoes, but from the sounds of it I'm going to need to surgically remove my pinky toes to fit. :/

FWIW I also am 6'1" and 220lbs and have been told that I will fit in a S3. Which is good because I recently bought an S3 via auction having never sat in one It arrives in 5 days, let's hope that they are right!

Croc: This one: https://classiccars.com/listings/view/1363082/2004-caterham-seven-for-sale-in-newport-beach-california-92660 sold on Ebay a while back. I guess the owner never took down the other ad.

I called to ask questions about the CSR and was informed that the car has sold.

Thanks -- I'm looking for a Vintage Green version, which is a bit brighter/lighter shade of green. Here is a recent example: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/zetec-powered-super-seven-5-speed/

Not necessarily looking for any particular engine or year combo. Contact me directly if you have a Vintage Green Caterham with Yellow accents that you are looking to sell. Thanks, Colin

Any Caterham Sevens in Austin? I'm looking to see if my 6' 230lb frame can fit in an S3. Colin

...and does it mean that you can't put Clamshell fenders on the car?

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1993-caterham-hpc-super-seven/ What is the significance of "Wide Track Front Suspension"?

Yeah, I've played around with it: https://www.caterhamcars.com/en/configurator?pagemode=web&configuration=%2B420%2BCLB%2BBPTPVGS%2BW7I%2BIC7PDYP%2BNBS%2BPNBPDYP%2BRBCPGBS%2BSZ3%2BFLR%2BRPC%2BGS5%2BLSD%2BLFW%2BDSO%2BSTK%2BRAB%2BBST%2BORC%2BAOYPSLA%2BBIG%2BMCP%2BINTPINC%2BDSHPDSC%2BMAP%2BCST%2BLRSPCLS%2B4PH%2BMOMPMOL%2BHTR%2BSSF%2BFIR%2BONC%2BOFW%2BORW%2BPIPPBLK%2BAFCPBKP%2BCPCPBKP%2BSWL%2BLHL%2BLPO%2BINPPCAW%2BESE%2BMBC%2BSRB%2BWAR%2BASNPCAW%2BHDOPITV%2BNAU%2BNRM%2BNHO%2BNBG%2BBOOPITC%2BFBT%2BDTK&width=1920&height=1080 My concerns: 1) Green color seems darker than the green on the BaT 7. I definitely want the lighter color 2) I'd want to retrofit old style fenders (possible to order from factory?) 3) stance on BaT 7 looks more aggressive -- perhaps related to 16" HPC wheels, perhaps suspension config 4) I prefer the exhaust on the BaT car (skinnier with heatshield). Is that possible with the newer engines? *If any dealers want to help me out, msg me* Which dealer is the California dealership? Hillbank? I didn't see anything similar to what I wanted there

I was the 2nd place bidder on that 45.5k Caterham. Obviously the photos and video were spectacular, but I also really liked the stance of the car, the wheels, the old-style fenders, the rear tire, the intake filter setup, and the general patina of the whole package. I'd never seen a 7 that I liked as much. In my mind it was worth it to pay above market to have it now, in the config that I liked. Alas, I didn't win -- now I've emailed a US dealer to see if they can replicate it. From the looks of it that is a 1-2 year process :/
