Jackal

One more popped up in Canada. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/vancouver/lotus-super-7-westfield-edition/1345047802?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

Well to clarify for our American friends, we still have Craigslist as well. In my personal experience, Craig’s list is relatively unused by comparison though. One more popped up on kijiji... selling for health reasons. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/kitchener-waterloo/1974-lotus-other-convertible/1343427338?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=app_ios&utm_medium=social&utm_source=ios_social

Just adding some Canadian content to this thread. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/mississauga-peel-region/2006-caterham-hayabusa-r/1342664259?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true https://www.kijiji.ca/v-voiture-collection/lanaudiere/westfield-mazda-turbo/1286795329?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

Hi All, I'm sorry to have been away so long, it has been a very busy week for me. Firstly I'd like to say thanks for all the interest and the help to get the car to the states. The legal importation was one half of the equation, unfortunately the other half is that I am in the process of getting separated and have no other vehicle once the common one gets liquidated. Unfortunately the (now) Ex has also lost her job do to the low barrel price, and will be looking to liquidate the other car she owns, and has been loaning me. Of the three vehicles we had together, She owned one outright, I owned one outright, and we shared the tow vehicle. All this left me with a couple of choices. I had to choose between buying a cheap vehicle that could tow the Birkin, and the trailer to tow her where I need to go with future moves, Or sell her and get a vehicle that I can daily drive and hopefully race as well. I put her up for sale asking a really high price comparatively to the other two that are on the market in Canada currently, especially when you consider there is still work to be done, and the car isn't currently road legal. On the 7th, a man came to see her and offered my asking price for her. I took his offer and she was gone that night. I know she has gone to a good home; one of a collector and she will be cared for. I know that I will build one again when my life has sorted out this latest bit of craziness. When I do, I know more of what to expect and will be more prepared to do an even better job on it. For the time being I have fallen back into a gently loved 2008 BMW 135is, which I can drive during the cold winters here, and because it's newer than 2006, the importation of it should be relatively easy when/if I make the move. Thanks again to a wonderful community, and all the help you all have offered to me. Without many of you, I wouldn't have gotten as far as I had with my beloved Beatrice. Next time I build, I''l have more questions and know I have a great support group in you all here.

I'm not sure I'm fully following you there. It's not really the only reason I'm selling her, but certainly factors in. I'm fairly certain that importing this car would limit it to track use only. I'm only just starting the research into the possibility of importing it to the States, so I'm only shooting from the hip based on very limited info as of yet. If you mean I should look for a new Seven in Washington, then I think we are on the same page. Although it may take a while to get to that point again.

I wish it was there too. lol. Part of my life changes may mean a relocation to the Seattle area. These cars are difficult to get across the border I hear. If anyone knows how this would be possible, I'd be more inclined to keep her.

Location of seller: Calgary, AB Willing to ship: No Method of contact: PM or Text (403.909.8449) Price: Negotiable/Trades Description: Recent life changes are forcing me to sell my beloved Beatrice. The end result is many assets need to be liquidated and divided up, but that leaves me with no vehicle at all. I therefore need to look at selling/trading Beatrice so that I still have locomotion. It really (really) breaks my heart to even contemplate this, but it is what it is. Right off the bat I’ll list the build thread for here: http://www.usa7s.net/vb/showthread.php?6935-Project-Beatrice-(1999-Birkin-S3) The build thread is extensive and I have every receipt involved for the build. I have well into 40K$ into her, and had hoped that I can get about 32K$ Canadian (At todays dollar that's less than 25K$ US) out of her now, but I am open to reasonable offers as well. I need a vehicle too, so I’m considering trades, but only for vehicles that I can hopefully begin competing in Auto-x again while daily driving. I’ll add more to this add as the day progresses, but I am literally breaking up right now at the thought…. And I can’t be sobbing at work. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l294/nivaguy/Beatrice%2006%202014/E5E6C1C4-B8B3-42AF-8DCC-53CB17A7D228_zpsuzw579vr.jpg

I only just read this. So good to hear spirits are up and that although serious, the injuries weren't worse. Get on the mend.

Hahah. You were aware I was kidding...yes?

Well I decided not to enter. I feel that half the fun would be in having some other Se7ens there, so I'll put it off to next year. None of you can take your cars apart before March next year..... You're all on notice. :cheers:

Interested if you still have it. PM me some paypal details and we can sort it out.

A problem you can't complain about.

Hahaha. Don't you have a shop? Don't you know a guy with a shop?

I emailed and asked essentially about staggered submissions and as the club entries go, how to handle it. I also sent pics of Trixxy. Here's the response I got: Duane, Thank you for the pics. The process is that we accept all applications until January 31st, 2015 then the committee reviews and picks out the vehicles for the show, depending on space available. An acceptance or non acceptance letter is then sent out to the chosen vehicle owners regarding the move in process after February 1st, 2015. If there are any more vehicles to go with you, make sure they mention that on their application. We will try to accommodate, if possible. Any questions please contact us. Bill I should add that thanks to one of our awesome members (Stewart), I will have a tilting enclosed trailer to offer to get cars to the show, provided I get my stuff together to pick it up. I'd be willing to tow, or loan the trailer to get cars there. Whatever it takes for the club!!
