Thanks for the info. I would be registering and titling the car in FL so for me that's a plus that it is already registered there. No emissions issues for me but I assume a cat could be fitted for the next owner should I decided to sell. Being/staying an east coast car I would rather not pay a premium for a CA complaint car knowing that it may slightly limit the audience/price if I decide to sell down the road. As far as fit, I am 5'10" and 160 lbs so I figure I should be able to slide right in the driver's seat. This would be my 3rd weekend/track car so maybe all responsible decisions are out the window. Still have to figure out car storage but there will be time to sort that out later haha.

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...m-super-seven/ I haven't heard much talk on this car and not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing. Seller says the spec of this car is closer to an R400 which I would agree with based on the power output but it seems to have the creature comforts of the road sport and less of the carbon bits I typically see on the track oriented versions. Any idea what spec this car actually is or equivalent to in today's line up? Does anything seem out of place or raise any flags with this car? Anyone personally know the history of this car? Sorry for all the newbie questions, but I am trying to make a halfway responsible purchase or as much as one can without personally seeing the car haha. Nonetheless, this is a killer looking car in my opinion. Thanks for the insight. :cheers:

Thanks for all the input, it is exactly what I was looking for. I had heard the rumors of Hillbank assembly leaving more to be desired in the early days and figured this was one of their early cars. However it sounds like this could be a quality car but just needs a thorough inspection before any purchase. I spoke with Kim about the car a few weeks ago and he was extremely helpful and seemed to give his full knowledge of the car. I believe he actually owns the car now based on our conversation. I was unaware that a new build could be that reasonably priced now days and will definitely have to explore that option more. I was looking for car to do spirited driving, local auto-x, and track days at Summit Point but sounds like the 310 might be a little low on power for the track days. I have also seen advertised a Stalker M-spec for sale locally that I believe was their prototype car. I know that car was pushed pretty hard at the track and auto-x events which in my opinion doesn't seem to be reflected in it's price. Sounds like I have some more researching to do but I appreciate the help and will continue to monitor Croc's weekly findings and forum classifieds. -Justin

I have been looking at sevens off and on for a while now and this Caterham 480 caught my eye, https://vintageracecarsales.com/portfolio-view/2013-caterham-seven-480/ Wondering if anyone knows the history of this car? It appears to have been used in media reviews while at Hillbank then sold to the first owner in Wisconsin and acquired by Kim at vintage race car sales. Based on the weekly cars for sell in this thread, it looks to have been put up for sale more than 2 years ago and still hasn't sold. I assume it hasn't sold due to the high price but wasn't sure if it had a tarnished history. I see most Caterhams in the $30-40k range but with this one having the Duratec and being a newer build what would be a fair price for this car? Thanks.
