inchoate Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Just got my hands on a '87 (or'88 depending on how you look at it) Caterham. I grew up in the passenger seat of my dad's '62 super 7 so it was a given that I'd get one at some point. One of his friends got this car in the late eighties and I've wanted it ever since. It recently became available and I couldn't pass it up. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g57/mikestifel/cat_3quarter_zpsddtjzryi.jpg The good (or bad depending on you point of view) part: http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g57/mikestifel/thegoods_zpsryrj9cee.jpg Car has the 1700 Cosworth BDR motor, 5 speed gearbox, De Dion rear end and rear sway bar. It's everything I expected it to be and more.
xcarguy Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 inchoate, Welcome to the forum and congrats on the purchase. :cheers:
coffee break Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 You've got great taste in cars. It looks just like my 7, red glass and bare alloy. Thou, mine is RHD and only one cam, but that's just getting picky. Now go out and play on the twisties!
inchoate Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 thanks all. car definitely needs some tlc but i'm very happy. this is my first 7 so i'm sure the stupid questions will begin any day now.
