Oh you tease! More info and photos please. For me most importantly is month/year of first registration. Cars have to be over 15 years old to be imported into Canada.

Now if only it had that Cosworth Cam Cover and the engine that went with it that you put up a while back.

[IamScotticus]

The best 7 Caterham made, IMHO

[mrmustang]

Suspension and brake details, engine and transmission details, an asking price?

 

The more details, the better chance you have of finding a buyer.

 

Finally, a location and exactly how the car is titled would also make your quest to sell easier.

I did, however, it's under contract, congratulations. Imagine if more details were offered, you might have had a number of people get into a bidding war on it.

Looking for background on this. 

What year was this car?

When was the Prisoner 7 offered?

 

My car is a 1991 1700 Super Sprint 5 speed DeDion.  Right-hand-drive, brought into the USA in late 2022.

 

It has 5 Prisoner wheels, 15x6.5.

The "Prisoner" edition Cats were offered from '90 to '01. They have a special chassis number prefix, steering wheel center cap, and a dash plaque. They were available in all configs from engine-less kits to an R500 turn key. There were 47 produced. Patrick McGoohan received #6 at the 1990 Birmingham Motor Show.

Who is #1?

[fotsyr]

I actually built Patrick McGoohan's  Prisoner 7 and delivered it to him in Richmond, VA. His daughter and son in law lived there. 

[MV8]

He said there was much disappointment since people were expecting it to be like the Bond films with a mystery man unveiled at the end, but it was not about that at all. It was about the evil within. That's why he unmasked himself as #1.

[Scafidel]

NO WAY!  He was really #1?  I'm going to have to watch The Prisoner series again. 👀

I tried to watch it awhile back and the show seems almost silly now.  Build a village supporting a small population on an island with all that technology, just to contain a few prisoners, who would pay for all that?

That's part of the question, isn't it?  Russia?  The UK itself?

 

Whomever it was, they knew what the inside of the office in London looked like.

[MV8]

#6: "K-A-R-120-C! What's the engine number?" #2: "Do tell me." #6: "461034TZed" #2: "Marvelous!" #6: " I know every nut and bolt and cog! I built it with my own hands!" #2: "Then you are just the man I want to see. I've been having a good deal of overheating in traffic. Perhaps you'd care to advise me?"

I thought she said to have it fixed?

[IamScotticus]

I wonder if Patrick's 7 is stil in the estate?

Did he have a collection of exocits?

No. A bit more formal back then.

[IamScotticus]

Did you see the Jim Caviezel and Ian McKellen Prisoner?
