97 Caterham Classic - 1.6L Crossflow - Awesome Drivetrain upgrades!

[11Budlite]

Found this on the USA-se7ens mailing list. No affiliation but I thought I'd pass it on:

 

"Well, I've decided to sell my Seven because a Merlyn Formula Ford stole

my heart and I just couldn't pass it up.

 

My Seven is a 1997 Caterham Classic. It's been mostly raced in the

Super Seven Challenge Series in a vintage club in Texas and has proven

to be the car to beat in its class! It's been registered and inspected

and I do drive it on the street some when the weather is nice.

 

Detailed Specs

- 1.6L Crossflow Ford blueprinted/balanced w/ oversized valves and

uprated cam (extremely strong but very streetable)

- twin 40 DCOE Webers

- Quaife Rocket 4 speed dog engagement transmission (once you're used to

it it's really easy to drive on the street....on a track, there is no

substitute for the unbelievable speed at which it shifts!)

- Quaife LSD rear differential

- Tilton hydraulic clutch

- dry sump oil system

- MSD electronic ignition w/ adjustable rev limiter (chip based)

- carbon fiber Caterham seat

- reinforced rear axle

- Racetech gauges (water & oil pressure/oil temp)

- fuel cell

- yellow/alloy w/ red interior

 

Pictures from a couple of days ago are at the link below...the muffler

is off in the pictures b/c it was getting a new coat of paint at the time.

Asking $23,000 which is a deal considering there is ~$15,000 invested in

the drivetrain alone.
