Hey all, I’ve been a longtime lurker here on USA7s, but it has come time to sell my car. A good number of you know me and know this car and work that has gone into it over the last 3 years.
This car is a no expense spared build beyond standard Caterham 420r power level. 2.5L dry sumped Ford Duratec motor. 1993 Birkin S3 chassis imported from Japan with Caterham Front Uprights, brakes, nosecone, carbon aero screen, and more. Should be making 225hp and the same or slightly more torque. CT title (as a 1993 Birkin) and is fully registered. Insured through Hagerty with agreed upon value. Currently 1700 miles, may go up slightly.

Looking to get $48,000 for it. Happy to organize a meetup with anyone interested. Car is located in Fairfield County, CT.
Please reach out with any questions, I am probably forgetting some things. This is not the end of 7s for me just a brief hiatus. Cheers
