Brief history of this car:

 

I ordered this car from Chris at Sevens & Elans in March of 1993 and took

delivery of my kit in Nov. 1993. My intention was to build a reliable, safe,

and fast track use car only.

The car has never been raced, and never wreaked. The only thing that I have

ever hit was a plastic apex cone. The car has never been driven on the

street, has never been titled or registered, has always been trailered to

events and stored in a garage. The heater, headlights, horn, and emergency

brakes have never been installed (still in original Caterham boxes) and are

included.

 

The car has been driven approximately 16,000 miles. It has been exceptionally

well maintained. All miles are race track miles but in a non-race, driving

school environment.

That's a nice way of saying that I have had no incentive to beat up the car or

over rev the engine. In fact I needed a car that I could count on to be

trouble free since I had to be available for students on track and I had

little time to fuss with my car while at the track.

 

Issues: The car does have star-cracks on the fenders and it has it's share

of stone chips on the nose. When I hit the cone, the passenger side rear

fender came off, pulling out the riv-nuts in the aluminum skin. I purchased a

new Caterham fender, installed new riv-nuts and reinstalled everything (this

was about 5 years ago). The old riv-nut holes are not visible and are covered

by the new fender. That new fender does not have any star-cracks.

 

TRAILER:

 

Classic Commander model CT147TE.

 

Size: 14' L x 7'' W (interior) 18x 8.5 exterior. Floor height is 18"

Dual Axle with 4 wheel electric brakes

Coupler size: 2-5/16

Equipped with:

 

Spare Tire and Carrier

36" Side Door

Ramp Rear Door

Roof Vent

Winch and Battery

Extruded Aluminum Flooring

4 Floor Tie Downs

Alum. Loading Ramps (these attach to the rear door ramp to make loading my

Seven a snap)

Lots of attention to details like: Winch plate welded under the floor, extra

thick alum wall skin (.040 vs the standard .030), polished alum. around the

rear door frame, stainless steel screws, piano hinge and flush latch on side

door, alum tread plate stone guard on the front of the trailer, and steel

rear framework with recessed latch on rear ramp door.

 

---------------------------

 

Car and trailer will be at driving schools at BeaveRun on 8/24

The original list price for my Seven was $35,300 in 1993, not including the

Panosport wheels, oil cooler, skid plate, and extra front anti-roll bar.

 

The trailer had a list price of $4947 in 2002 but with all my options the

cost was closer to $8000

 

I will sell my Caterham for $25000 and the trailer for $3000. I prefer to

sell as a package and will offer a $500 discount for a package price of

$27500.

 

Please feel free to pass this info on to the USA club.

 

PICTURES: I leave for Mich. in a few days but when I return I'll take some

pic's of the car and trailer and I can forward them to anyone who is

interested.
