Croc Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 I am bored in an airport waiting for my flight which inevitably has been delayed for 4 hours. With any luck I will experience the new higher levels of customer experience offered by United and then I can sue them for squillions and retire. However, knowing my luck I get to enjoy German airport food....sigh.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/2004-Replica-Kit-Makes-Brunton-Stalker-V6-/232299652872?hash=item3616236708:g:lEsAAOSwnHZYcSDe&vxp=mtr Not sure what this next one is but post it as it may interest those who like Atoms http://www.ebay.com/itm/2014-Replica-Kit-Makes-Contour-/122443673369?hash=item1c82362f19:g:2QYAAOSw4CFY7kTk&vxp=mtr I think the seller is right on the next car - I would verify this against a Lotus 7 registry https://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/6075368425.html https://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/cto/6072551778.html https://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/cto/6087338165.html Skip's Caterham here on Craigslist https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/6075727857.html $19000 Caterhams catch my eye - 1988 RHD https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/6061541346.html https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/6081319661.html https://harrisburg.craigslist.org/cto/6076473886.html https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/6060089798.html https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/6062113442.html https://miami.craigslist.org/brw/cto/6080296891.html http://www.ebay.com/itm/1999-Westfield-Lotus-Super-7-Series-3-/162461518074?hash=item25d37608fa:g:gmYAAOSwc-tY5l~5&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/1978-Lotus-Super-Seven-/201887144708?hash=item2f01695b04:g:vhsAAOSwuLZYzw1S&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-Lotus-Super-Seven-/282426800966?hash=item41c1f2fb46:g:1ksAAOSwls5Y6fmL&vxp=mtr https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/6078177831.html https://daytona.craigslist.org/cto/6070581721.html https://tallahassee.craigslist.org/cto/6045407454.html https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/cto/6051832651.html https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/6075486748.html https://baltimore.craigslist.org/cto/6061907835.html https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/6084787071.html https://newyork.craigslist.org/wch/cto/6021176539.html https://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/6066960440.html https://orlando.craigslist.org/cto/6083025405.html https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/lotus/super-seven/1783033.html https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/lotus/caterham/1890154.html https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/lotus/11/1894303.html https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/lotus/super-seven/1901734.html https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/lotus/7/1914708.html https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/lotus/super-seven/1864119.html https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/lotus/super-seven/1864119.html https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/lotus/caterham/1935381.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panamericano Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 TurboWood : I hope I never come to a situation where I find justification in selling a project I spent >1500hrs on and subsequently barely used. Some silly people claim that there are cures for addictions (mostly spouses). Me, I don't care to go for the treatments. She who rules was a bit miffed about the time I watched the Gran Prix this morning, but I pointed out that her N Y Times could be enjoyed for the same amount of time, so alls good again. Putting up with my goofy cars for 20+ years counts for a lot. However, she says that the Birkin is not usable enough, so I should get another, more practical roadster. If my wife wants me to have two sports cars, who am I to argue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee break Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I hope I never come to a situation where I find justification in selling a project I spent >1500hrs on and subsequently barely used.

While the seller is enthusiastic and the seven looks great, I would not want to buy it and import it to the US while arguing it is over 25 years old and import restriction free since it says 1986 Toyota Corolla on some piece of paper when some doofus customs chick at the border will know it is anything but when she does her visual inspection.

Croc Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Weight is before engine and gearbox, seat, tail shaft, harnesses, fluids, etc. so once you add that in then we are back to the regular expected weight. It definitely looks like a CMC from the photos. No idea how many they made but they seem to pop up with frequency as you note. When did CMC go out of business?

Croc Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Hand-built Caterham Super 7 SV "Hayabusa 1400." Engine and drive train designed and built by the late David Saville Peck of Ennerdale Engineering. This car is fully road legal and titled as such. This is the ONLY Super 7 Hayabusa 1400 in the US! It has been used primarily for track days and shows wear as such. It comes with brand new Avon tires and an all- aluminum trailer. Like all track cars, it demands some TLC, so if you don't like turning a wrench, this car is not for you. The advantages of the motorcycle engine and transmission as compared to an auto engine/transmission are light weight, compact packaging, high specific power output, and a built- in sequential gearbox allowing clutchless upshifts. This car is a blast to drive and will handle, accelerate and brake in ways that heavier cars simply will not.History Hand built in 2006 by David Saville Peck of Ennerdale Engineering in Chamainus, BC. for a customer.
