7 swag thread

I tried to 3D print a model Seven.  I broke the roll bar and the headlights while pulling away the supports.  The 3D printer belongs to my 10 year old daughter.  She can probably teach me how to use it..

If car covers are swag then mine should “fit” right in. (See what I did there?)

According to the build sheet and Caterham invoice my car was delivered with a “Factory Car Cover – Calico (dust) Super Seven”. I assume it would have had a Logo. What I received from the seller with my car is a type of cloth cover, perhaps home made with a Caterham Seven patch sewn onto it.

It just drapes over the car as opposed to being stretched over it as the modern ones do. Original, aftermarket or homemade can anyone tell me?

Keychain that was very hard to source for a while

Looks like they're back in stock at https://www.ebay.com/itm/176348066248


The only downside is the shipping which is nearly equal to the cost of the keychain itself! I tried adding 6 to my cart to see if I could potentially save on shipping and then distribute here since they'd cost nothing to ship domestically, but... nope. Maybe if one of us contacted them directly...

Oh yeah, my other question is: Is it suitable to use as a DZUS tool? If so, neat! If not, my idea for a project to send to cutting service still has merit...

I actually messaged the seller of the laser-cut 7 grille keychain to ask about combined shipping, so if anybody has an interest in getting one for less than it would cost to ship from the UK, please let me know (pending whether it's possible).

 

In the meantime, I should say that I bought one of these lil guys and it is delightful. They're available here, and have an amazing selection of other cars as well:

I was just going to say. I messaged seller for group shipping discount if I recall. They are usually glad to oblige. I think I ordered 3 for that reason when I did.

Ha, they just replied in the affirmative as well! So uh, anybody want one of these? Let me know!

Not totally clear on what the final price would be but "cheaper than buying one from the UK"

I stand corrected. I never messaged seller after I checked logs. I bought 2 additional ones for 42 gbp. About $26 USD each for me. Oh well. If anybody is on the fence they are nice units, that's why I have 3 now lol.

I forgot a couple of items the wife had created for us. After the UK club’s Lowflying article came out she had two purple hoodies done with the “Glass and a Half” Cadbury’s logo image. When we are not wearing them she likes to place them on the seats. She made up two pillows one for her to use as an arm rest and mine to lift my butt and it has a second larger piece of foam that acts as a lumbar support. Funny how it makes my hoodie look like it has a belly. (I think she does that on purpose.)

Then at one of the big car shows she had two photos along with the cars name put on drinks glasses by a vendor. They’re not bottles or cups and have a clear lid with a slide to drink out of or put a straw into. Even though these are stainless covered in a clear plastic I can only think of drinking glasses to describe them.

I also included my very first mouse pad. It came packaged with a Microsoft mouse and the very first issue of Windows for DOS. The Caterham promotional photo came from David Kaplan of DSK Cars fame. He sent it along with other sales literature and prices in response to my request for info back in the late 70's.

And if you wish to bring in other “Lotus” related items well, I have the rear wing off of Gunnar Nilsson’s Lotus 78 as raced at the last GP held at Mosport Park. (NOTE: This had been on Andretti’s car hence all the win stickers. But all those were removed and the one for Gunnar’s win in Belgium was added when it was switched to Gunnar’s car.)

 

P.S.

I added a couple of other bits. One is a vintage late 70's early 80's Lotus Club of Canada logo watch and an even earlier Lotus Seven lapel pin.
