southwind25 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 posted on ebay after 9 months of unsuccessful sale. Our beloved Birkin s3. In perfect shape everything is ready and 100%. Reserve is set at 17k, we are taking a 10k loss on the car unless bid goes higher. Robert Kansa 330-714-3740
Hettric Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Hope you didn't make a listing mistake - there is no reserve listed at the current bid of $12,469.00
soareyes Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Looks like it might work out ok without a reserve - already at $15,100 with 33 bids and 3 days to go. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lotus-Super-Seven-Birkin-S3-Birkin-7-S3-Caterham-Lotus-super-7-/330772356029?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item4d03919bbd
JimmyHilton Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) Robert has a sale on his Birkin. The Birkin is coming to TX. Still trying to figure whether to drive, or transport. I was seriously hunting a Caterham, but figure this will be a good launch into a Se7en. Can't wait!! ps: Robert has a Zetec that was to come with the car. I don't want, or need, it. So please contact Robert if you have an interest in it. Edited August 8, 2012 by JimmyHilton

Kitcat Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 What was sales price (I might have to raise what I am asking for mine:))? JH-Looks like you got a great car. Robert expended much time/love making that car just right.

JimmyHilton Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) I have a line on an engine, that was partly my choice of this car. It is from a friend of my Dads that used to be the Lotus Dealer (50's-70's) in Dallas. I don't yet know (and he can't remember) if it is a twink or a BD?. So I get to go help clean out his warehouse, and there is quite a bit I'll likely want (valve grinding, seat cutting, knurling, dizzy setup, NOS 7 bonnet, and etc).

JimmyHilton Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) Anxiety is killing me ..... Pebble Beach has all transport on the left coast. Still probably 2 weeks away from p/u. If the car was actually titled, I'd have made the journey. Edited August 24, 2012 by JimmyHilton
Kitcat Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 I think Southwind's 7 was titled in Ohio. And, if so, you can get a temporary tag from Ohio and drive it home.
sevenup Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 I live in Ohio and was interested in southwinds car a few months back, but as I remember he never did get the car titled. That was one of the reasons I did not investigate it further.
JimmyHilton Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 It sounds as if InterCity will finally p/u the 7 Tomorrow, or Sat. I never knew me to be this patient, but will likely have to be again to get titled and plated in TX. Custom Vehicle, as a Replica '67 Lotus 7, sounds to be the way to go in TX. If anyone has experience with the new Mar/12 law, I'd love to know! Jimmy
