Avery Waterman Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 After 2 months, 1,500 miles, 4 new tires and oil change, I am flipping Steve T's most recent ride. I also will be selling my Panther and BMWs toward massing capital for Sugino's 7 or another fine BDR. It was assembled in 2000 by Cat dealer Rocky Mountain Motorsports, was titled in 2002 as a Ford, and is titled without (replica) restriction here in Virginia. Inspection is current. It can be seen right now at Steve T's postings under "Member Rides" on July 1, 2007, and March 10, 2008. I hope to post remaining photos and all of its specifications tomorrow. I just wanted to give members a quick heads-up. Absent prompt serious interest through this site, I am leaning to listing it on ebay later this week. Coincidentally, Dean got a good look at her last weekend. Thank you in advance for spreading the word on this great looker and daily driver.

Avery Waterman Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Members and guests: I did not post the specs and photos yesterday after all, because yesterday a member reached an agreement on which a deposit was wired today. Thank you very much for your interest. Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avery Waterman Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 With payment made and title transferred, only "gone baby gone" transport remains. Caterham Seven has lived up to its sterling name for value on and ease of resale. Were I only so lucky with my Panthers and BMWs . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

par Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Steve She's coming to CT, where we'll begin the harrowing DMV process - which I have narrowed down to bumpers (for which help is at hand!), bigger steering wheel and more ground clearance. -Other than bigger wheels any thoughts on how to get above 4"?

gjslutz Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Adjust the springs up to what you need for height. You could also ask around to borrow larger tires for the process, good luck with the new toy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevet Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 4" - yikes. She was originally on 16" wheels with low profile tires, so a deeper tire is probably your best bet. Good luck! Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxologist Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 13/14" tyres are normally sold with ~23" rolling diameter. the 15/16" tyres have larger diameters 24-26" even. there are specifi cycle fenders from Caterham for each wheel wheel setup, 13/14 and 15/16. using bigger wheels and tyres on the smaller wings will cut into the rubber. i would initially try the inspection on the 14"s. then condsider sourcing or borrowing a set of 15 or 16s if u have to cross that bridge.
