In 2000, the frame was modified by Caterham in England to fit the Zetec and then shipped to Frank Bolton, the US Caterham distributor. It was then shipped to the SCCA for approval. When Mr. Bolton sold the distributorship to Jon Nelson he sold the car to George Alderman of Mid-Atlantic Caterham. George then sold it to me. http://static.mjdtopsites.com/user_files/105/uploads/2010dcautoshow11.jpg In the SCCA booth at the 2011 DC Auto Show In April 2011 a Full, Removable Cage was built by Piper Motorsport for extra protection during highway drives in DC Beltway traffic. The stock Zetec engine was also replaced with a brand new ZX3 motor from Quicksilver Racengines in June of 2011. It was tuned for pump gas and dynoed at 216 HP. Currently the car is registered in Maryland as assembled vehicle and includes Maryland lifetime emissions inspection waiver. I have used it as a weekend driver, autocross and track day car. http://static.mjdtopsites.com/user_files/105/uploads/P1000648.JPG Photo 3/2017 Fender vents eliminate lift and maintain classic looks.

Al N. Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Getting out of the hobby, Michael or on to a new car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Say it ain't so Michael! What was the nature of the engine refresh, ditto tranny? That is a pretty stout Zetec-my identical Zetec SVT made around 156 hp at the rear wheels on the dyno last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Michael - Did you mean to post this here instead of the for sale forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelD Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Al, I live in downtown Bethesda and am only allowed 2 cars. The Z3 and Seven are in my garage. The X3 and trailer are in a rented spot 100 yds from my house. The owner passed away today and the property will be sold and demolished for redevelopment. Thus I think the timing is right to sell a GREAT SEVEN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelD Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) Croc, I didn't know there was anything other than your list. I can post there as well. Edited April 13, 2017 by MichaelD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelD Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) Mike, I can look at the bill and tell you. The new motor was built by Quicksilver Racengines. It is basically a Formula Atlantic race engine detuned for pump gas. They say that with a race tune and race gas it can put out 245 hp.

rcollum Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Good luck with the sale, Michael! Your car was instrumental in getting me to buy my Seven. --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 MichaelD is too modest for his own good. He sent me a list of the extensive improvements that he is making. They are so thorough that I have concluded he is selling a nicely broken-in new Caterham! Hopefully, he will add the list of refurbishments here soon. GLWS, though I wouldn't be surprised that when this car' refresh is done, you will fall in love all over again and keep it:). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelD Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 Mike, Thank you for the comments. I don't know why I did not include that info with the first post. 1st, Both T-9 transmissions were rebuilt as needed by John Espisito at Quantum Mechanics in Oxford CN. Then I ASKED GEORGE ALDERMAN of Mid-Atlantic Caterham TO CHECK EVERY NUT, BOLT, RIVOT AND MECHANICAL PART AND REPAIR OR REPLACE ANYTHING HE FELT WAS NEEDED. THIS IS WHAT i PAID FOR: CHECK HEAD AND DROP PAN INSPECT BEARINGS OIL AND FILTER CHANGED REPLACE BELT TENSIONER AND BELT IDLER PULLEY REMOVE AND REPLACE HEAD SET CAM TIMING CHECK HEAD LAP, GRIND ADJUST VALVES REPLACE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS AND SEALS TURN REAR ROTORS REPLACE FRONT BEARINGS, BRAKES AND VENTED ROTORS REPAIR FLOOR, REPLACE RIVETS UNDER DRIVERS SEAT I AM HAVING THE NOSE, FRONT CLAMS AND AND A NEW BONNET (FROM TOM), AND ROLL CAGE AND ROLL BARS PAINTED IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. ALSO RE-STAINING LEATHER SEATS AND REPLACING DASH SWITCHES WITH NEW. All should be finished by June1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I am going to be sad to see this car part with its owner. I have had many happy times chasing or being chased around the track by this seven with Michael at the wheel. The remarkable thing is that Michael still uses it frequently as a daily driver. Good luck with the sale and I hope you enjoy your new car. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a354/mjohnson555/seats/CSR/2015%20Sevens%20Event%20at%20NJMP/WSPS-untitled-N.J.M.P.%20Drivers%20Club%20July%204th%20Track%20Day%20%20BBQ%20July%202015-0352_zpsqydxp5pc.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a354/mjohnson555/seats/CSR/2015%20Sevens%20Event%20at%20NJMP/WSPS-untitled-N.J.M.P.%20Drivers%20Club%20July%204th%20Track%20Day%20%20BBQ%20July%202015-0010_zpssgs8niqn.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a354/mjohnson555/seats/CSR/2015%20Sevens%20Event%20at%20NJMP/WSPS-untitled-N.J.M.P.%20Drivers%20Club%20July%204th%20Track%20Day%20%20BBQ%20July%202015-0166_zps3labsuif.jpg Michael - I saw your phone calls on my cell this week.

MichaelD Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 Croc, Thanks for the kind words. Owning and driving a Seven is only part of the experience. Sharing the experience with others will be the part I will miss the most. Who knows how long it will be till the right buyer comes along. Then again maybe Kitcat will be correct. Every time I walk into the garage I know how much I will miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotusman1951 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Michael, I sold the Fury last week, have garage space, will maintain car and use it 500 miles per year non-racing in exchange-no room for trailer-you know my opinion on price so--access-continued ownership by a qualified-no incident lotus owner- Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
