There was a Caterham S3 race car for sale in TX in recent weeks - did you check that out?

@CASwede Could you please post your Beachman order number either here on this thread or via PM to me. I connected with Bruce by phone this morning. He thinks its is likely you have a part which is in a shipment stuck in customs that he is trying to free up. However, neither of us being able to isolate your exact order prevented me from getting a categorical answer for you. Bruce acknowledged that he should have given a heads up communication if it was a back order situation but looks like that got dropped - no excuse - you deserved some communication update for the delay. Once I have it I can follow up for you with Bruce. It is probably helpful to give some educational context for the broader audience of USA7s members on parts ordering generally. We have chosen UK derived cars for which supply chains of bits can be tenuous. A Caterham or Westfield or GBS Zero or the like has been mostly sourced from the UK. We do not always know what the original source part was (e.g. Rover, Ford, etc or the specific model). Some parts are bespoke via Titan Engineering or the like. Caterham Parts UK is a bear to deal with as they are often not in stock and they NEVER bother following up on backorders. The US dealers are ALL single person businesses. They are wrestling with a Caterham Parts UK process that frequently has no proprietary parts in stock in the UK that are unique for their cars. Caterham UK does NOT make life easy for the dealers. Sometimes the US dealers can find parts from alternate suppliers. Maybe they have another assistant one or two days a week to help them out. They are small businesses and not Amazon. Older cars may not even be supported by Caterham any more (e.g. my 2010 Caterham CSR) so I have had to custom make parts with the assistance of a dealer. So our orders are frequently not in stock and shipping next day out of a USA facility. Small dealers cannot afford to have huge amounts of parts stock on hand in the US - we are only a small market for demand. For me this is a criticism of Caterham's distribution approach to the US market - its not a criticism of the dealer. At the end of the day parts sourcing challenges is something we should be conscious of and actively manage ourselves. Its part of the se7en ownership experience - not one of the better parts sadly. Whats the solution? This is why USA7s is around. We help each other out finding suppliers or working with suppliers to keep our se7ens on the road.

I assume all stock on your 1965 Mustang? 289 V8 with a T10?

Congratulations on third. HP rules. the Superformance S1 would have been a 2L Zetec. You finished in hp order! Look forward to seeing the LOG track day photos. Sounds like you have a fun time!

Excellent! I think I need to see some photos of your Ford collection, particularly the 1965 Fastback, which I also own one of.

Love the photos. Was it just parade laps of COTA or did they allow you to "unleash the beast"?

S5 = SV CSR and S5 have also been used interchangeably so I think it is a size nomenclature and not a specification. No one has mentioned the long cockpit change. The Imperial to metric change was a significant evolution - sizing plus production change.
