Great looking 7.

I’ve never seen one with the center tunnel sealed away like that. Must be interesting to get at the driveshaft, Speedo drive, etc.

Very odd. There are 6 Sevens for sale on BaT right now at same time. Don't know if I've ever seen such a clowder. They are all different but still

I see 7 Sevens on BaT. And you're right, I don't think I've ever seen that many at once.

I've been around BAT since the beginning, and yes, I've never seen so many 7 style vehicles listed at one time. This may or may not work in favor of the seller(s) though as competition for bidders is now in play. I suspect BAT was hoping for a feeding frenzy, but I'm not seeing it as a viable game of play.

Its not clowder. Its clusterfuck of sevens. Trust me I'm right. Fifteen years of seeing sevens come to track days.

Anytime you get that many competing, it diminishes the "brand." Some people will just wait for more selection to come; think these cars are qquite common; can get one any day; Bids will be lower and some will be unsold. Hope all the sellers have a reserve they can live with.

If Future 7 owners want to get in the club, this is your lucky 2 weeks…. Plenty of variety…. These are more fun than the 401 K….🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣

Caterham

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/caterham-super-seven-9/

For sale on BaT 3 times in 3 years. Has a license plate “TWINCAM” but sadly just one. Harrumph.

Well, there is the proof. The X-Flow Caterham with 6 ½ days to go is almost double what the Lotus Twin Cam Caterham is at with only 3 ½ days left. People now have a choice of Caterhams, a project or a turnkey driver. At present it is showing in the bids which is the preferred car. Even if it's getting passed around.

I’m sure the competing Bruntons will also see the bidders split. The bidding on the one that ends first is strong at the moment. However, some may decide to hold off for the second one which may make it the higher priced car in the end. But who knows where the owners have their respective reserves set.

I think the Birkin and the Westfield may be the big winners in this or at least get bids near enough to their reserves to end up with deals. IMHO the Birkin has a slight advantage with the Zetec, t9. But, the Westie has a presence and if it sells for less some might say that makes it the better buy.

We’ll have to wait and see.
