Rick Deno Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 One owner car purchased through ‘Sevens and Elans’ of Boston Mass. With yellow fenders and nose cone with polished aluminum body. Although built in 1990, it’s titled as a 1965 Lotus Super 7. This means it is a “Collectible Vehicle”, and you will never have to meet current emission requirements or pay for annual license tabs. This car comes with the optional 135 HP Ford 1700 Super Sprint “Kent” block engine with Cosworth Cross Flow head and dual Webbers, thermostatic oil cooler, four branch exhaust header, de Dion rear suspension built around a Ford Sierra final drive unit with 3.6:1 ratio, 5 speed Ford Sierra transmission, 15" alloy wheels, and Bilstein adjustable shocks. Complete weather package including soft-top, side curtains, tonneau, boot, and a heater! Also equipped with leather sport steering wheel, Perspex wind deflectors, heated and tinted windscreen, delay windscreen wipe and leather bucket seats. This extremely light, aluminum skinned car has only 8.8 K miles on it in 16 years. Awesome handling and very quick! 0-60 in 5+ seconds. Always garaged and only driven on sunny summer weekends, it’s practically new. Call during the day at 206 812-3254, my cell at 206 852-8874 or e-mail me at rdeno@comcast.net if you have questions or would like a test drive. Asking $26,900 OBO. An incredible sports car! http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1801409251_img_0087_2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnCh Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 There is a se7en less than 10 miles from my house and I don't find out about it until it is listed in the classifieds :banghead: Good luck with the sale! Hopefully it stays in the area. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roll a 7 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 John, The state of Washington owes California one 7 since your car moved up north. We would like this car to relocate down south. It's only fair. Quid pro quo and all that. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCh Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Brad, no one has ever accused me of being fair. Good luck with the local sale Rick -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidL Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I'm "that guy" who posted on the Cal Caterham site, and I'm happy to say that I'll be bringing this 7 back to California soon, the SF Bay area to be precise. Special thanks to whoever posted the original Seattle Craige's List ad to this forum, I would not have found it otherwise! -David Lenzi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Enjoy: I bought an identical spec '97 Caterham here last year. Things I have done to make it better, in order of benefit produced: Tighten throttle cable (adjustment is in foot well-remove aluminum cover from engine bay). If it is loose, it will quickly fail, if it is tight (no play) it will not-I learned the hard way. Replace fossilized tires, get engine/Webers tuned, replace hydraulic clutch fluid (I was unable to shift), replace radiator hoses (they were cracked and leaking and shorting out the electrics) replace ALL fluids (diif, tranny, engine, radiator, brake), alignment, tighten every suspension bolt to spec. Remember, altho the car has very few miles, it's 18 years old and most of the stuff noted above is 18 years old too and needs to be updated. My car is 100% better, more enjoyable/reliable as a result of above. Many other optional upgrades too (5 point harness , FIA roll-over bar, etc.) .

DavidL Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Happy to report that a friend and I drove the car the 850 miles South to the Bay area without incident, top down the whole way on the weekend. Overall its in great shape and drives really well. I was smiling the whole way! -David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
