Anaximander Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I am sure you are going to gives us curious folks more pics, any lingering problems with the car and an asking price. Neat looking car from the one picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ickke Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 Updated with price (duh!) and pictures/links. I really enjoy taking the car out, though startup with the Weber carbs can be a finicky, but once going, resonate a sound like nothing else. Big smiles always.

Vovchandr Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Congrats on your preliminary sale within the week. Nice looking 7 for a great price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 $14,500? About 2/3s-1/2 its value, IMHO. Should sell fast. At that price I am tempted:)! Thx to the magic of Bring a Trailer (BAT), prices of this spec Cat have gone thru the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croc Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Solved one mystery for me - this was the Caterham featured in the Hagerty magazine write up last year (or was it earlier this year?). Congratulations on the imminent sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croc Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Sorry Rick. It was a twin of yours with PA plates. I just figured it had to be you - there are not a lot of us out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoBoost Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 The original builder bought the car back. Yes, I did! It took some coaxing from my friends and approval from my very understanding wife before I made the call to Rick. Glad to have it back in the garage. Looking forward to planning and executing the various tasks and of course, getting back behind the wheel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
