Where is my Seven

[lancylad]

Okay people, I am 60 years of age, note I did not say OLD..and I have to get my Seven while I can still get in, and more to the point, out of one. I live in Canada so it needs to be 15 years or older to be able to import it with the least hassle. Please let me know if there are any good ones out there. Thanks. Steve.

How about one that is titled as a 1963 Lotus 7 in the state of California with BMC running gear or does it have to be a Caterham chassis.

Would prefer the Caterham chassis, is your machine a Locost build. Steve

Hi Steve,

No it is a scratch build.

I would guess you could call it a Locost build but the dimensions were taken from a S2. Closest frame layout to my car would be a CMC frame but it is not one as I built my frame myself.

Here is a link to some photos of the process.

Send me a PM if you have more questions.

Enjoy.

Note: it is in Canada - importing to US may be difficult.

I have a '92 Caterham which I was planning to offer for sale next Spring but would consider selling now if a buyer presented him(her)self.

It is a BRG Classic with De Dion rear and LSD. Engine is 1700 Super Sprint with DCOE's. and Kent 244 cam. It has approx. 4000 miles on a complete mechanical rebuild by Chip Bond of GT Classics in Va., a Caterham dealer. All receipts are available. I can furnish more complete specifications if you are interested. Car is in Eastern Tennessee and I am asking $24,500. Don

Hi Don

Unfortunately the Canadain import rules say that I can only bring in a seven that is 15 years old or older. They just hate us boys having fun..... Thanks anyway. Steve

I know of a 3.4L V6 Stalker (bright red, all GM running gear) in Vancouver for sale if you are interested.

Don't have any detail shots. I'll put a few together tomorrow and forward. In the meantime, here's one I do have. Don

Steve: I bought my '97 Caterham with identical specs to Donnie's car, above, just after I turned age 60 and haven't stopped having fun.

 

The car is fast, agile, has a glorious sound (unmatched by other engines, -IMHO:)) and is at least semi-practical for daily use. It aquits itself well at the track and you will attract a crowd where ever you go. It doesn't have the ultimate power of the newer cars but that seems to be important only in rare situations.
