Bruce K Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Super clean Birkin with a nearly full-race engine (brand not identified in the ad - Vauxhall? Ford?). 6-plate clutch with lightened flywheel. Extra-height rollbar, Willwood 4-pot brakes, strengthened half-shafts. Full weather gear. Suspension "fully-tuned" at Bondurant racetrack. Appears to be an exceptionally clean and fast Birkin Seven, though for 50 large you could make a deal on a used Caterham R500, which would hold value better in the long run: [/url]http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lotus-Super-Seven-2012-Birkin-S3-re-engineered-from-the-1967-Lotus-Super-7-/181098367028?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item2a2a4dc834 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 The ebay ad says it has a 270 HP Duratec engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce K Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 You are exactly correct, up in the byline. Missed it, somehow. That, or the seller added the info later. Nice car, though. Remember how I remarked that the price was steep? When I revisited the ad to see how I had missed the motor manufacturer, I entered "BIRKIN" into the searchbox. ABOUT 70 BIRKIN PURSES COSTING MORE THAN THE OPENING BID FOR THIS CAR CAME UP! ONE OF THOSE PURSES WAS OFFERED FOR OPENING BID OF $150,000! True, it's constructed of "Himalayan Crocodile", and mountain-climbing crocodiles have got to be awfully rare, but geez louise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A purse that cost $150k . . . yeap, that makes all the sense in the world to me. :banghead: Maybe if I covered my seats in good ole' south Louisiana gater skin my car will become a chick magent and increase in value. Ummm hmmm. :bs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
