Oyagi Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hey all, Just to let you know, there's a cool Hayabusa-engined Deman that just got traded in at a dealership that specializes in RHD cars in Markham called Right Drive (rightdrive.ca). The car is not listed for sale yet but it should be shortly. Go check it out! I saw this posted on their Facebook page: http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/261283_231461510199020_100000055178344_1029981_8364041_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian7 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Is it licensed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birkin42 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I believe this is the first Deman Dan built. He built it in England before he came to Canada and believe is the only right hand drive Deman. I believe it has a DeDion rear end. I can't recall the donor car that was used for brakes, etc. If I am correct on the car, it was licensed for the road in Ontario.

Oyagi Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Update, it's now officially listed and for sale on their website. Looks street legal to me! Man, I would have been all over this last summer http://rightdrive.ca/inventory_cars/view/277 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trough doctor Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Its now in my garage along with the 76 caterham(soon to be for sale). The rotary powered 7 (for sale) was moved outside on the driveway and tarped. Picked it up and had delivered via flat bed on saturday. The engine and tranny are toast and will require a new(used) one. Will not be in a huge rush to find a replacement engine but will be on the lookout. Was contemplating a bec scratch build but with two small children and work it would be many years and countless hours on the internet before it was done. I had looked at this car when it was for sale a couple of years ago but was'nt able at the time to get close enough to thier asking price. It was owned by a lady in her late 40's! (i'm guessing) The deman is longer and wider than the cat,which is fairly easy to see. Once seated in the sr7 it feels more like a cadillac compared to the caterham. I am only 5' 6" and cannot see the left fender and the steering wheel feels a bit too far away when the seat is adjusted for my legs. Some padding for the seat will definately be on the to do list. Hopefully I will have it up and running before the snow flies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Good job(a person can never have too many se7ens)! It is a lovely color combo. I will be interested in how it compares to your Caterham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
