mrmustang Posted September 5 Posted September 5 (edited) For Sale: 2003 Caterham Super Seven SV, a true world traveler with 24,800 well loved miles. Built in UK by it's original owner (with great assistance from The Seven Workshop) with a 1.8 K-Series Engine, and used to toured Australia on his honeymoon. Soon after the end of the honeymoon, in 2004, the original owner accepted a job in the US, not wanting to give up the car, the original owner pulled the original 1.8L K series engine and had the rolling chassis shipped to his new home in Huntsville, Alabama. January of 2005, a 2.0L Zetec “202 bhp” specification engine purchased from Caterham USA (receipts in hand), along with a Pectel ECU and TWM 4x50mm throttle body/intake assembly. Included with the purchase was a Zetec race exhaust system, now installed on the car. At that time, he and his blushing bride toured the US from west to east coasts and back to Alabama where the car was then used sparingly before being sold to it's next owner in Kentucky (circa 2016 with just 21,xxx original miles) The car is graciously equipped with a 5 Speed, DeDion rear W/LSD, Heater, heated screen, Tonneau, Top with side curtains, Sun Top (regular top with no window material), touring box (not currently installed, bolts to rear of chassis), Car was painted blue with white front wings, red/white grille "7" by the factory, who also installed the original electrical cutoff switch. I've spent the last several months, as documented here on the forum, going through the car top to bottom, New tires, drive belt, injectors, all new braided fuel lines, vacuum items, filters, plugs, wires, coil pack, installed Holley Retrobrite LED headlights, new shoulder harnesses, and a host of other minor bits and pieces. I have a large file documenting the car from original order through today, and just about everything in between. pre-purchase inspection gladly welcome as I have nothing to hide with my car. PRICE REDUCED TO $29,500 Car is located in Greenville, SC Edited October 12 by mrmustang 1

Tall Steve Posted September 8 Posted September 8 Very nice! Do you know if it has lowered floors? I need every mm available to squeeze in.

It does not, but they can always be retrofitted in as they are only pop riveted and glued/sealed in place. I ordered a set for my 40th Anniversary standard chassis after the fact. Not difficult at all How tall are you, and what is your inseam. It will be the inseam that makes all the difference. I am a 35" inseam and I still have the seat adjusted forward on the slider without touching the pedal adjustments as new from Caterham. Bill Edited September 8 by mrmustang
Tall Steve Posted September 8 Posted September 8 I am 6'6" with a 36 inch inseam. Drove an awesome Cat a few weeks back and realize I will likely need a thin racing seat along with the lowered floors and a probably the shortened aero windscreen (metal surround of the standard sits right in my line of sight. Mod needs pushed that amazing car out of my range. 1

Mod needs pushed that amazing car out of my range. Was the car you drove a standard chassis or SV chassis? I ask as there is a difference between the two chassis: The SV is 4" wider and 4" longer in the cockpit vs a S3 standard chassis. You can google the same to confirm. Bill

Mod needs pushed that amazing car out of my range. Remove common seats for traditional squabs and back panel. No sliders. Can be velcro backed, one inch thick for the bottom closed cell foam with or without upholstery and no mods to the car that would prevent a return to original.
Tall Steve Posted September 8 Posted September 8 Great recomendation! It was an SV, also for sale here. Amazing car. 1

There you go, in that case Rocky Mountain Caterham would be your next call to see what the costs of the dropped floor would be. Good luck on your hunt, sometimes that is half the fun. Bill
