TurboWood Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I'm not sure what to think about that '78 turbo. That's a lot of money in an old car which may not have added value and may have made it difficult to use on the street. I've driven a car with a multiplate clutch and super light flywheel on the street (albeit not a 7) and found it very unrewarding. On the other hand it has a turbo and I do like turbos. The work looks well done, but the engine bay is more busy than I would have like (now I go hid in a corner where the owner can't see mine). Does anyone have any idea what differential is in it? I would worry of ripping it apart if it hasn't been upgraded (assuming the '78 version was not so strong). Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 I agree with you Dan. Its roll bar is designed a way I dont like. You have a bench seat with no head protection against the roll bar. The wheels are the narrow snowflakes and the rubber looks to be the average performance stuff. But you have 350hp. There are a bunch of contradictions that make me wonder as to the end aim of the builder. But anyway...short of time this morning so just posting the links. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1962-Replica-Kit-Makes-/322554740408?hash=item4b19c2beb8:g:dGgAAOSwZKBZE-7~&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOCOST-7-Project-Needs-Finishing-/272719546793?hash=item3f7f5a09a9:g:c4YAAOSwblZZIczG&vxp=mtr https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/cto/6159531760.html https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/6155194142.html https://houston.craigslist.org/cto/6123638854.html https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/6152179924.html https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/6133546134.html https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/6138667584.html https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/cto/6164863903.html https://pennstate.craigslist.org/cto/6150013121.html https://hartford.craigslist.org/cto/6151879848.html https://spacecoast.craigslist.org/cto/6179099276.html https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/6177111801.html https://fortcollins.craigslist.org/cto/6175511002.html https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/6129981146.html https://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/cto/6150612570.html https://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/6133455231.html https://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/cto/6138227641.html https://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/6165344962.html http://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-Lotus-Super-Seven-/272723673834?hash=item3f7f9902ea:g:8RsAAOSwjvJZRk4e&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/1999-Westfield-Lotus-Super-7-Series-3-/162538767763?hash=item25d810c593:g:028AAOSwsXFZMWJk&vxp=mtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopd65 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Mike, My car is sold and the 3 ring binders with the specs are on their way to the new owner, perhaps he will chime in with the data. I must say that this forum is one of the most supportive and helpful of the many automotive forums on the web. This thread is the most entertaining of them all. While I haven't posted much, I have read quite a bit before my purchase and during my brief ownership. I appreciate the positive attitudes and contributions of the people involved. I may own another 7 in the future, they were on my list of "dream cars" for many years and the one I owned did not disappoint. Good luck to all.

Croc Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 This week's listings Pre-lit Westfield in NJ. Won an award at LOG36 in Princeton so may be familiar to some. Bidding open at $15k http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=12795&stc=1 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1984-Replica-Kit-Makes-Westfield-Seven-/272730743590?hash=item3f8004e326:g:NmwAAOSwvflZS9Pn&vxp=mtr Westfield Megabusa $22k http://www.ebay.com/itm/1962-Replica-Kit-Makes-LOTUS-SUPER-7-MEGABUSA-/322562715048?hash=item4b1a3c6da8:g:dGgAAOSwZKBZE-7~&vxp=mtr https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/6155194142.html https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/cto/6159531760.html https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/6152179924.html https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/6133546134.html https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/6183744658.html Who want a possible bargain?

But it is a 1990 Westfield in MA for $10k http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=12796&stc=1 https://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/cto/6189477938.html $18k Stalker https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/6185889557.html Pretty! 1966 Lotus 7 S2 in Tamiya model colors $34k (I think?) http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=12797&stc=1 !966 Lotus Seven S2 #SB2138. This is a REAL Lotus 7. I have history going back to the early 1980's when it was first imported into the states by a gentleman in Virginia. It was stripped, painted and refreshed at that time and not driven much at all. It then went to Colorado sometime in 1990 where it was until I purchased it several years ago. In my ownership the car has been completely stripped and repainted, new tires on 5, 5 ½ inch Lotus Cortina rims. It has the Ford straight axle. All the suspension was refreshed as well. A ZERO mileage 1600 X-flow built by Twin Cam Services in Florida was installed with a fresh roller rocker head from Quicksilver Racing in Maryland. The car has the 4 speed box and it absolutely flies. The seats and inner panels are new as well. The car may have 500 or so miles on it since I've done all this. This is really a very clean Seven. Comes with top, side curtains and tonneau. All in good shape. I have some windwings too. Also have a set of 4 Minlite look-a-likes that we can talk about if you are interested. The car is in Maryland, titled there and ready to go. https://frederick.craigslist.org/cto/6190157249.html https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/cto/6164863903.html https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/cto/6191282851.html https://hartford.craigslist.org/cto/6151879848.html https://spacecoast.craigslist.org/cto/6179099276.html https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/6177111801.html https://fortcollins.craigslist.org/cto/6175511002.html https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/6129981146.html https://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/cto/6150612570.html I thought this was in the Bringatrailer auctions but did not sell I guess? https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/6188460005.html Lotus 15 project https://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/cto/6184847523.html https://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/6133455231.html https://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/6165344962.html http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1964-lotus-seven/ https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/6188460005.html http://www.ebay.com/itm/1999-Westfield-Lotus-Super-7-Series-3-/162538767763?hash=item25d810c593:g:028AAOSwsXFZMWJk&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-Lotus-Super-Seven-/282542485148?hash=item41c8d82e9c:g:rq8AAOSw8d5ZT4m8&vxp=mtr Lots of Westfield for sale today!

Croc Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) Now that the sevens event is over and I have vaguely recovered its time to post this week's crop of ads ooh look at that - Lucky Dawg has discounted his CSR to $57k already on Ebay - or $60k if you buy off this forum - a lovely car! http://www.ebay.com/itm/1966-Replica-Kit-Makes-Caterham-CSR-260-Roadsport-/192241255922?hash=item2cc278c5f2:g:cokAAOSw2iNZYBJI&vxp=mtr or you can pay $60k off Craigslist https://seattle.craigslist.org/est/cto/6209277752.html Whatever price you pay it is one hell of a car - just gorgeous! 1989 WEstfield $15k http://www.ebay.com/itm/1989-Other-Makes-Sei-Super-Seven-/112467497215?hash=item1a2f95d0ff:g:UBwAAOSwFqNZWnM2&vxp=mtr 1979 Westfield $15k http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=12876&stc=1 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1979-Lotus-Super-Seven-Westfield-/192239013331?hash=item2cc2568dd3:g:f14AAOSw8GtZXTIv&vxp=mtr Now the next one needs explanation. Gullwing Motors may be familiar to you if you frequent Bringatrailer. So this is a Gullwing car at $29500. Their business model for selling cars is not to clean up a car for sale but sell it as it is. The pricing model does not align with that thinking but you would need to bid them lower, much much lower. For what looks to be a S2/S3 it needs a lot of work. No idea if it all works mechanically? http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=12877&stc=1 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1965-Lotus-Other-/272751411968?hash=item3f81404300:g:O84AAOSwnK9ZXoMt&vxp=mtr or on Hemmings https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/lotus/7/1972000.html Others on craigslist https://houston.craigslist.org/cto/6193976945.html https://orlando.craigslist.org/cto/6195427984.html https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/6200815138.html https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/6201906778.html Westfield SEight here $35k http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=12878&stc=1 https://newyork.craigslist.org/wch/cto/6201574795.html https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/6183744658.html Westfield XTR $50k road registered too http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=12879&stc=1 https://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/6209443739.html Another Westfield https://toledo.craigslist.org/cto/6199638979.html Stalker for $18k here https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/6185889557.html https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/cto/6191282851.html https://hartford.craigslist.org/cto/6198350482.html https://akroncanton.craigslist.org/cto/6199884301.html https://spacecoast.craigslist.org/cto/6179099276.html https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/6177111801.html https://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/cto/6184847523.html https://fortcollins.craigslist.org/cto/6175511002.html https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/6199461714.html https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/6188460005.html https://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/cto/6160341314.html https://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/cto/6192771080.html https://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/6165344962.html oh and these too http://www.ebay.com/itm/1999-Westfield-Lotus-Super-7-Series-3-/162538767763?hash=item25d810c593:g:028AAOSwsXFZMWJk&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-Lotus-Super-Seven-/282564144537?hash=item41ca22ad99:g:C4oAAOSw0TxZYf9f&vxp=mtr Edited July 9, 2017 by Croc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croc Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 I actually thought that was clever since Ebay really does not give you any negotiating flexibility in the way its auctions run whereas on here and Craigslist you know they will bid you down anyway.
