Al N. Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 It's true. I'm putting my beloved Orange Caterham Superlight R up for sale. Don't worry, I'm not selling the trailer, though...because I'm sure it's just a matter of time before I'm back in the Se7en saddle. Probably in an S2... For details on the car, see this thread: Al N.'s Orange Superlight R For more pix, visit: www.gardenstatesevens.org It's got the Zetec with ITBs and 6 speed...full windshield and ATL 55 liter Fuel Cell, 195/45-15s all around. Carbon front and rear fenders & dash. Painted carbon nosecone. Composite (not Kevlar/carbon) seats. I have a Caged FIA rollbar and the original "r500" style one that is on the car. I am the first and only owner. Built by Rex M. of Speed Classics in AZ. Approx 4000 miles (and only one, slightly damp Auto-X!) It's registered in NJ as a collector car (reconstructed title), and uses the Pectel standalone ECU...check the titling/registration/emission laws in your state if interested. Prospective buyers should email me: al at mintadv dot com. Put "Orange" in subject line. Condolences not necessary. You can also reach me at 908-399-1226. Replacement value close to $70k. A fast and clean Caterham from a known seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Is it April 1 already? I understand the gas guage isn't 100% accurate, so I hope you are prepared to deeply discount the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBH Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Well...here's an ad that I thought I would never see.:cry: I hope this doesn't mean USA7s is losing you too. All I can say is if you want a Caterham, the Superlight is the one to have. I can attest to the handling and performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al N. Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 Thanks for the kind words about Orange, gents. I plan to be part of USA7s for as long as it exists. With or without a car (hopefully, with!), I'll be at the 2009 meet wherever it is. And Carlisle in May, etc. As I noted, I am keeping the trailer, as I expect it is only a matter of time before I have another Se7en in the garage...
