Caterham USA Pricing

[Ian7]

I bought my kit from RMSC in 2007,

Tom

 

hopefully not a highjack, but I just love the idea of someone in Alaska with a 7; and I thought our season was short

Ian,

 

The car is still in Colorado, being assembled (slowly). Don't forget, in Alaska our season may be short, but our summer daylight hours are long...!

 

(At least, That's what I keep telling myself!).

Hey Tom, aren't your roads also in a perpetual state of repair due to the tough winters?

 

I've made quite a few trips from Anchorage and/or Fairbanks to Denali and I can't remember a trip without road repair work going on.

 

And watchout for those occasional Moose. Although if you time it right I guess you can go thru the legs with plenty of room to spare. :rofl: Tom

Now THAT made for a good reading!

 

I figure you can save a bit here and there by looking around, but the used market seems the best deal. Upgrades for carbon fibre whatsits are available from many sources, and may be a lot less than from the official dealer - there are at least 3 reputable CF online shops in the UK I can think of (Carbon Mods, Fluke Motorsport and Demon Tweeks). In Canada at least, importing a kit or newer used is a risky business - you might not get your car from customs if they get difficult. If our dollar keeps it's rate, you also might want to call the Super7Cars people in BC for a BC registered/inspected new one - you might save a lot on the exchange.

Newbie here - great forum.

 

The British Pound hit a 6.5 year low today against the US Dollar.

I wouldn't at all be surprised if it drops at least another 10%.

Lets hope the exchange rate improves in our favor, its about the only way i will be able to afford another one. Its either that or wait the long cockpits (otherwise i will not fit comfortably) to become 25 years old and bring one back from my homeland. and quite honestly the prices are resonable there at the moment for the old ones so here's hoping. $70k for a 7 really gets away from the clubman racer concept for that kind of money one can buy some serious machinary.

Ok, so from Ben at Caterham USA today.

 

Caterham USA is re-setting it,s dealer net work(some go, some new, some old stay)web sites for RMMS and CatUSAQ will be updated soon to show this,it is however taking them longer than expected to do these changes, but they intend to be around for some time to come.

 

Rocky Sports is not dealing in Caterham anymore,(stiill dealing in sports cars and Formula Ford stuff tho)

 

All calls for cars or parts should go to Caterham USA tel 303 765 0247.

It is ok to use the parts price list at RMMS in the meantime.

 

Old Rocky web site with parts list:

 

http://www.rmsci.com/

 

He also stated that as their parts prices were pegged at last up date at $1.75 to the pound and it went as high as $2.00 this summer which hurt them, they intend to stay at current prices across the board while rates hover around the $1.50 level.

 

 

Hope this helps
