FOR SALE - weather equipment

[Ian7]

Is there any demand for a Caterham Classic "increased visibility" hood, sticks, and matching doors with the elbow-room bulges?

 

Never use them, might as well benefit someone else. Value?

Got pictures?

only of the top in place, doors are as per standard Caterhamhttp://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1579402874_BN rightrear.JPG

Hmmm... I'll go ahead and throw out a "dibs" for now. Please PM me with asking price.

CORRECTION UPDATE:

Forgot to mention that the doors have two small drilled holes in each where the stock mirrors used to be mounted. One mirror was broken as-rec'd, took both off but never replaced them with anything, as I use windscreen-frame mounted mirrors.

Secondly, if anyone has any ideas how these might get packed for shipping...

Thx

i have a set of teh stock mirrors that aren't in use. can u measure the distance between the holes to check if there has been a change in the supplied mirrors' bases. I have doors and an SV.

If by chance Sean doesn't need/want the hood sticks themselves, I might be interested in taking those.

Just measured the remaining unmounted mirror, hole centers are a nice round [4 and 1/16"] apart.

 

USA Caterham lists the hood for $697, sticks for $86, and doors for $550/pair. Is a grand too much?

[Sean]

Caterham's online parts store lists the whole she-bang for £400 excluding VAT (REF: https://www.caterhamparts.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=155&osCsid=126432d6a443399148745e337da7ae44), which works out to a bit under $720 at recent exchange rates. There would still be shipping from the UK of course, but still likely to be under a grand total for brand new.

[Ian7]

yikes, wouldn't have expected that large a difference, unless shipping something that big is WAY more than we'd guess.

 

on that basis then, the value of my stuff is, what, 500 bucks? guess I'll just hang on to it. :7rain:

 

 

[Sean]

Okay. Thanks for considering it anyway, Ian. Not really a "must have" item for me at all, just a "maybe someday"...

 

And Dave - it just so happens that the only part of the weather equipment that my car was sent with was the hoodsticks, even though I overlooked weather equipment when ordering. Oh well.

[Ian7]

Agree they are hardly priority items.

My first 7 clone didn't have a hood, doors, or even windscreen wipers, or even any way to mount them regardless.

 

This car came with all that in the 'kit', I installed it all for the 'rollout' photo, but its all been in the garage since.

 

I don't drive off if the weather looks bad, and never carry it all with me 'just in case'.

 

but murphy's law says the day after I sell it, well, you know... :7rain:

Ian,

 

Contact me if you still have the top.
