cccmanhattan Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 1996 Caterham Super 7, Well sorted driver. Previous owner was a meticulous race engineer. He literally tracked down every noise and vibration and set this car up perfectly. Far and away one of the most exhilirating 4-wheel experiences out there. We've really enjoyed this Super 7 and while we're moving on to something different for now, we will look forward to owning another one of these motoring gems in the future. Watch the video at the end for a glimpse of what it's like to drive a Super 7. 1700cc Supersport Xflow 5spd T-9 DeDion LWB chassis Honeycomb gas tank protection kit Fresh air heater with on/off control Motolita, black leather steering wheel Tonneau cover Black adjustable seats with head rests Carbon fibre external rear view mirrors 3pt inertia safety belts Wind wings Extra visibility top Thermostatic oil cooler kit Heat shield kit, for pedal boxes and transmission tunnel Competition exhaust system This car has been driven and does have some stone chips, but nothing that takes away from it's overall presence or the impression you'll make going down the road. Rear tires have seen some spirited road use and are about 50%, but not in need of replacement yet. Titled as 1967 Lotus VIN: LOT215367 Mileage: 28,370 Asking Price: $25,000. All serious offers considered. If you have any questions or would like to put in an offer, please call Zac at 212.229.2402 or 646.331.8224 or email zacm AT classiccarclub DOT com More Pics Available Here: http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk74/rustyvegas/1967LotusSuper7/file.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk74/rustyvegas/1967LotusSuper7/file-76.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk74/rustyvegas/1967LotusSuper7/file-58.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk74/rustyvegas/1967LotusSuper7/file-69.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffee break Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I'm interested in changing over to 3 point inertia belts. What are good US vendors? :flag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxologist Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I believe the car is actually in NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cccmanhattan Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Sorry guys.. been a bit out of touch with the Hurricane. Mike is right, the car is in NYC at the Classic Car Club. Unfortunately the day after I listed this, one of our members bottomed out, dropped the oil and ceased the motor. The bearings took 100% of the damage and it's easily rebuildable, but the damage is there none the less. I"m now asking $21k as is or $25k with a fresh motor. Feel free to give me a ring at 212.229.2402 if you have any questions or would like to have a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danilo Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Erm .. what's up with the Dodgy Title? Real one not adequate? Many jurisdictions may 'frown' on that foolish titling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croc Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I think he is getting at you have a 1996 Caterham titled as a 1967 Lotus 7. Some states do insist that you title a car as it is and some states make you title it as the year and car it replicates - it depends on the state you have to deal with. For this car, which I know its prior history, the current NY title description matches its former state of title which in 1996 when first titled followed the year and car it replicated convention. In this case it makes no difference as it is pretty easy to correct when you transfer title. Also, as it is titled right now it makes it easier to title in some states where they do not accept kit cars (unless fitted with air bags, original fuel tanks and emission equipment from donor car, crash tested bumpers, etc). With my battle scars from titling sevens in various states I would not be worrying a single bit about the current NY title description on this car.

coffee break Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I'm a little puzzled by the LOTUS ID plate. My 1995 has a CATERHAM CARS ID plate. http://www.classiccarsltd.com/modules/auto/detail.php?id=388 I'm sure there is some explanation. I only have one example to go by.

David_G Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Can you post pictures of the damage. I am interested but do not want to drive to NY if I don't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmustang Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Can you post pictures of the damage. I am interested but do not want to drive to NY if I don't have to. Think you are too late as it sold on Ebay this past weekend http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Low-Miles-Perfectly-Maintained-/200850517422 it is unknown if the buyer actually knew the motor was toasted even though it was listed as such in the ebay listing :svengo: Bill S.

7veloce Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Yes, it is sold. The new owner is going to have Zac to rebuild the engine for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 7veloce - do you know if the car is staying local or headed to far shores west? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7veloce Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 7veloce - do you know if the car is staying local or headed to far shores west? I would think the car will stay in NY for while until Zac finishes with the engine. The only reason I know this because I was interested to buy the 1700 x-flow engine from him.
