Thanks! I don't have a history on the build. It's a 1700 Ford Crossflow, with dual 40 DCOE Webers. I've been told in another forum that the air cleaners appear sub-optimally small, as they're sized to fit under the uncut hood. Early problems starting it, and the state of the BP6ES plugs I had to throw out to get it running suggest it has some history of running slightly on the rich side. I guess I'll figure that out once I have a few of my own miles on it! Much appreciated, thanks!

Found on the For Sale thread, I bought my first Seven in February. It's a 1990 Birkin 7 S3 from Japan that spent some time in Canada before entering the US in mid 2020. I have documentation of some recent work on it, and I'm going through it to get it ready for the summertime. I have a few projects planned, mostly light maintenance, replacing some VDO gauges with matching new bits that read out in a scale I understand, cleaning up some broken and missing snaps on the body, and damaged snaps and zippers on the weather gear, adding a CHMSL, and a motorcycle-style weatherproof USB power port. I haven't done much driving yet, but I'm hoping this weekend will have the sort of weather to make for a proper introduction.

"Wish I was ready," indeed. This car is now in my garage. Thanks, Croc, for your weekly for sale post.

Wow, that Superformance stings. I made a different commitment just a couple of days ago. The S1 is so close, it could easily be in my garage and plated before my actual purchase is loaded in a carrier. What a problem to have though, right?

Based on a podcast that asked about this with Simon Lambert, Caterham doesn't consider producing an EV as being contrary to their brand and ethos. Link below. They discuss at length.

Wish I was ready to pull the trigger on this one. Info I found related to this car, in case someone else is ready: Same car at the dealership referenced at the Craigslist: 1990 Birkin 7 – AZ EUROS · EUROPEAN CAR SALES & SERVICE · Est. 2013 Apparently the same car in Japan before shipping out for Canada: 1: 2: 3:

If you're the buyer, I hope you'll post a thread about your experiences with the car. Congratulations!
