Canadian Se7en owners roll call:

[chrisc]

The chassis 17 Stalker is now on Vancouver Island.

 

Seemed like a way to join the crowd while deciding whether to build one!

When you drive a 7 you are never alone.......

[Paul Hill]

Name: Paul and Rosemarie

Location: Morrisburg, Ontario

Car: early short cockpit Caterham

Due date: spring 2011

 

A "friend" took Rosemarie for a ride in his seven a couple years ago and she has been all fired up to have her own ever since. So, we've been searching for a seven project of some type...

 

Found this car(?) through friends in Ohio. What started as a deal on a bare chassis/alloy body ended up being a roller by the time we were done. There is no chassis number evident in the usual spots of the footwell or rear shock mount, the chassis plate is missing, although the claim was that it was a Caterham of unknown vintage. I sent photos to Caterham in England. They identified it as definitely being an early short cockpit Caterham. There is only 1 pair of louvres near the rear edge of the hood. Can anyone give us a clue as to the year, or where to look for a chassis number? We are still corresponding with Caterham but so far without much success with adding a chassis number.

 

I have been slowly chasing parts to complete it, gradually getting closer. At this point the power will come from a 1.6 litre Ford Escort crossflow. I have original Lotus fibreglass fenders and nose, have found a windscreen, top and doors, later Caterham leather seats, lights, wipers, exhaust, motor mounts. Still looking for a pedal assembly and master cylinders if anyone happens to have spares!

 

The present "custodian" agreed to add the pieces to make it a roller over the winter, ready for pickup in the spring.

The final build will have to wait a bit as it is going to have to wait til my primary project is completed... a '70 Europa with a Spyder frame and suspension, Zetec motor. The chassis/drivetrain is complete with bodywork just getting started. Hopefully we'll have it on the road next summer so we can get at the Caterham!

Haynes Roadster (just beginning)

XR4Ti Donor

A little west of London Ont

 

While I'm technically not a seven owner yet, I'm currently cleaning out the garage and collecting bits for my build.

Saw a Caterham in London this past summer and couldn't get it out of my head. When I recently discovered that a book was available to build one based on the Sierra/XR4Ti we just happened to have in the garage, well........:party:

Hi Dave

Great looking car.. You are just down the road from me. I'm in Nanton. When will you have your baby finished and ready to Blat?

[Dave]

Haha - never seemingly. I have a bunch little jobs to get done and a bit of a time/money crunch.

 

Good to know there a few other owners near by. There is a Luego owner in Canmore, Lotus Seven in Calgary and I know of at least one Locost in progress in Calgary.

[lancylad]

Git er done! We have a Stalker in Calgary, also another Westfield in Calgary. I feel an Alberta Blat coming on!! Roll on Spring..Just been out and fired my baby up, got to hear that sound to keep the adrenaline pumping. :driving:

[SKI HI]

It will be a nice looking car when you are finished. In Canmore I have 1992 Caterham and there are also several Birkins . A Blat in the Rockies would be great.:cooldude:

[lancylad]

Hi Steve, good to see you on here. Look forward to having a blat with you in the summer. Have been in touch with Brian, the guy who bought your Westie, he is doing quite a few mods to it. Steve
