Like the Blakely Bantams and a few other cars that have passed through here lately, its not really a "sports Car" like the Sevens or cars related to that design, its not really even a "sporty" car or a motorcycle on 4 wheels, its just an odd construct that isn't even described accurately ... The urge to sell doesn't justify its presence in these pages ... ;( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theDreamer Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 4 hours ago, Croc said: I can begin to imagine the frustration. The Canada seven market is so tight it allows for these types of flips to work. This is the same guy that had the Suzuki Hayabusa up for sale for soooo long. He states that he has been in the car business for 30 years. My wife has been in the vehicle sales and service industry for almost 50. She said on the way home he was the worst kind of "Used Car Salesman". Likeable, easy to talk to, and every thing that came out of his mouth was tainted or an out right lie!

speedwagon Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 One off cars are as common as wifes at least in this group where virtually no two cars are the same. For the price you get something that you can use and after finishing and shaken out should be an easy sell. And there sure is no shortage of Chevy small block parts (even a aluminum bloc+ heads). Possessing rotaries and one 408 small block ford, I find the complexity of multi cam engines to be a detriment. KISS I much prefer my Superformance S1 But to each his own. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempesto Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 One Trick Ponies have a limited market, that car will never be able to be made street legal economically and that looses you maybe 50% or more of your market. It's a very nice car and a good price but the only thing that looses value faster than a car is a race car unless of course it has name recognition and history other than that it just a high maintenance used car that's a heck of a lot of fun to drive.

panamericano Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Might be just the thing if you're headed way down South to escape winter: Over the last few months, the Fraser team have been restoring a Fraser that was unfortunately written off in a minor accident. We purchased the car off the insurance company and have repaired the car back to better than it was before the crash. We are now pleased to offer the car up for sale to some lucky sod just in time for Christmas! It's powered by the proven 2L Toyota 3SGE on twin weber carbs. It has inboard front suspension and de dion rear suspension. It is the perfect car for either road touring and/or track days and is immaculately presented in bright yellow. If you think this is the perfect filler for your own stocking, give the factory a call 09 482 0071 or email dan@fraser.co.nz and we'll happily run you through the details and arrange a viewing.

MV8 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I'd been watching. Not much warning between listing an auction date and the actual sale. I also checked with shippers that normally pickup from auctions. One refused after looking at the condition. It's just as well to a good restorer, since I'd want to change everything mechanically.
