Brightonuk Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) I guess not.... man Im gonna miss the car but it is just to dam hot in Florida now and for the next 6/7 months even at 128mph As for the center caps I got a M8 in the UK who tracked a set down for me they are an original Caterham set. I wish Caterham kept NOS of certain items (Nose cone Badge comes to mind) but I guess demand is just not there. I will reach out to him and see if he can track down another set but honestly kinda doubtful. Surprised you could not use a 3D printer do you need an org to pull from? if so I can put you in touch with the winning bidder I am sure he will know about USA7s and this tread as I linked it in one of my BaT responses. I will keep in touch after the sale to help out if I can. Steve Edited May 13, 2021 by Brightonuk added stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't leave an opening for the center caps of the center caps to plug into and when I was was modifying them to fit... I broke one of the "snap legs" of the center center caps. Ironically those are no longer available for ordering either, so I might have to 3D print/make a set of those as well. Thanks for getting back to me, it's unlikely that the gentleman would be able to find me a set of those as well. I was hoping that the big 16in wheels that the Caterham came with that had a very similar style center cap would fit, but I found out that they are actually different. Look the same but are bigger and wouldn't fit. They are more common overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCh Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 @Vovchandr not to be the master of the obvious, but you could solve both your TWM and center cap issues by simply being the high bidder on Brightonuk's car Less than 2 days left! -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve I couldn't believe it was wiggling as low as it was for a while. For a while buying the car for the ITBs and the wheels seemed like a bargain Good luck with your future endeavors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case than I'm going to have to call "told you so" to my SO, but I will have to wait and see what exactly is implied by the comment above.

Brightonuk Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 It has been...........difficult getting information from the buyer, he seemed a stand up guy on the phone. I will air on the side that the guy is OK and I am just being overly worried but the thought of not getting the Evora is killing me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I went with a 986 Boxster, more practical, beautiful and inexpensive. Yet not close to the fun of my Stalker, so I've been looking. This is a great spec and I would have got into the mix, except that Canada bars importation of titled replicas that are less than 15 years old.
