I'm not certain, but I believe this is a car I saw out in LA back in July while I was there for a wedding and there happened to be a car show in the parking lot (with 2 Sevens!).

 

I recall it looking quite sharp. If it's the one I saw, it is a pity the owner has to sell it as I recall it took him something like 5 years to get it registered in CA after bringing it down from Canada (during which I am sure he never drove it on the road; even once :D )

That car has been on RMSC's used car "for sale" site for about a year. First it was $40K, then $30K, OBO. Does seem like a nice car, tho getting parts for its Vauxhall engine may be a challenge.

I don't think finding parts for the Vauxhall engine should be too much of a problem.

 

Nathan Down at RMSC is presently rebuilding a broken VX engine from a Salt Lake City-based Caterham. He readily obtained parts, and a new dry sump setup, from the UK.

You can find images from that car show here.

Yes, my car didn't sell. I think its a good deal for a SB100 car. If anyone is interested they can email me at hpc92caterham at mac.com. I'm pretty sure the SB100 numbers will disappear in the first 4 hours again so here's a chance to get one already registered and legal. I took it out for a couple of runs around the block the past couple of days. Runs great and is just the way I remember it to be when I used to drive it more. I really love this car but I'm moving and need to sell them all.

thanks

Put it in Hemmings. Also list it at elisetalk.com, a gathering place for mostly Lotus Elise/Exide owners. But there are a smattering of Sevens owners there and Caterhams occasionally pop up on their Lotus cars for-sale section.

 

Your price is fair, tho maybe $27-28K is more realistic. Winter can be a hard time to sell a Seven. Last year a 3 year old Superlight with 220 hp, carbon fiber everything, 11K miles sold for $32K on the Elise Talk site. I wish I had bought it!

 

I watched prices on these for years before taking the plunge. The prices for nice Kent-engined Cats seems to be $22-25K, for Zetec versions add about $3-10K depending on power, options, condition, mileage, usage, etc. Of course, truly special cars have higher value.

 

Yours is a bit of an odd-ball in the states because of the engine type but is clearly comparable to the Zetec cars.
