Not always true.  Prices have risen over the last two given the supply of new Caterhams has been interrupted with a very lengthy build queue.   Older ones can be great deals but if you want a Duratec then be prepared to pay close to US prices.

Have fun!  Post some driving vids and pics! 

 

No chance.  It was not the greatest of days yesterday at Angelsey Circuit.  Wind, intermittent rain.  Just kept the circuit wet enough that it prevented grip on my dry tires and my wets were not really working either. 

 

Lets see what Donington offers.  Weather looks iffy!

Seems to be quite a stir being made about this one. Something about it being built by James Whiting (and proof that I still have much to learn about se7ens).

 

I went to see this car today. It had rained in the morning and the roads were still damp to very wet in spots so the car stayed in the garage. I was hoping for a ride but his car, his rules. I wish the owner/seller knew more about its history. Neither of us read Dutch so looking at the most recent paper work we have no idea what maintenance was done, when or where. Anyone here read Dutch?

Yes, a lot of talk about the assembler and engine builder of this seven. However, that was 30 years and over 35K ago. If it had race history or some other pedigree I would understand. But it’s just a nicely built street seven. It does present well for an original car but if you zoom in on the photos you’ll see lots of, shall we say, interesting/odd history.

For example:

The windshield is badly marked and the seller clearly shows this. What he did not mention is that it’s not the original windshield for this car. (To be fair, he may not have put two and two together.) The marks do not line up with the LHD wipers on the car. I believe they would align with those made by RHD wipers. So how did this come about?

The leather arm rest between the seats is full of holes like someone poked it dozens of times with an ice pick. Again, I find this rather strange. Same as some dents and a missing plug in the boot.

There are switches on the dash that do nothing. The rear fog switch I understand as this car does not have a rear fog light. Yet there are a couple of others that he said did nothing as well. I forget which ones now.

There are some paint chips but far fewer than I had imagined a 30 year old seven would have. The paint looks like it has some type of coating on it. But the seller says no, only some brand of Dutch made polish that came with the car. If you look close enough you can see swirl marks but from a couple of feet away it looks like it was dipped in liquid red plastic. I mean everywhere. I have only seen one other seven that had everything painted from boot to engine bay. This seven even has the underside of the engine cover painted red.

The seller does show the date code for the tires, 20th week of 2018. They are hard but not as hard as that old Michelin spare. ;)

It’s a 30 year old seven and it’ll probably fetch more than I can pay but… I very much liked this car. It checked most of my boxes; LHD, Ford twin cam with exhaust on the left, (so the wife doesn’t have to deal with a hot muffler) the old style long swooping fenders, five speed and LSD. The wife’s check list included full weather gear and a heater. I know, it doesn’t heat the parts that need to be heated but she doesn’t understand that.

We’ll have to wait until Saturday to see who gets it. It is going to be a long week for me.

I bought it from former British SAS communications specialist who lived in Wales.  I then imported it.

Would I be correct to assume that the number denotes the HP rating? Yours being 155 and the car for sale in Oakville Ontario is a 195.

I love my Seven!  A blast to drive!  I had it at Time Machines Motorsports over the past winter getting some minor things done.  The new owner, Greg Kuter is an ace mechanic!  greg@timemachinesauto.com
  
He might be a source for a used Caterham.  The red one sounds like a rocket @ 195 HP.  I’m the 7th owner.
