Recommended Posts

Forgive me father as I am about to spend money this morning by letting my dick control my wallet.... :devil:

 

I found these lovely carbon fiber hand brake grips for sale on Pistonheads this morning and I simply cannot live without buying one...

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=101&t=1483814&mid=255149&nmt=Carbon+handbrake+lever

 

so I will! :cooldude:

 

I have also found a car for sale that I desperately want - so I will need to log off shortly to control my irrational primeval urges and will take up cold spoon therapy.

 

 

But getting back to looking at sevens:

 

This one is not in the US. Its technically not a seven but it looks fairly close. It will take about 16 of your kidneys to buy. It is gorgeous.

1965 Chevron B1

Say it is not so Hank! :willy_nilly:

 

Yes, it's true. Not a fire sale but time to make room in the garage for the Elites and momma feels more comfortable in them than the 7. And after putting up with me for 48 years, and the 7 for 7 years, well.....

Look here for some details :http://www.simplesevens.org/2073/2073.htm More info available via PM.

Hank, that is simply a beautiful build story and an exceptional conclusion to what must have been a lot of work. I had gone back through your threads and even noticed that you worked hard to match period style glass for the windscreen. Good job.

 

I was wondering however if the non-stock engine was of any concern. Wondering why you didn't rebuild the stock engine that came with the car?

Boy, I would love to try driving that car. My Birkin is a different beast, to be honest. It'd be fun to try an original 7 on some corners! I bet it'd be a blast.

 

I loved the build pictures. I restore cars from time to time too (working on a Europa now, and recently a 68 Nova drag car) and you know, some of those old pics of that car scare me with how much work has been put in to it. Its daunting when you're at day 1. I cant believe how nicely it turned out though!

The "stock engine" was long gone. The Twin Cam dry sump was part of the previous owner's bastardization of the car into (we guess) was to be an autocross vehicle. The pictures of the condition at the start of this project don't do justice to just how bad the car was abused.

With all that in mind, and with Mike Ostrov having a Lotus Seven America with the stock 948cc BMC engine (a roaring 36 horsepower) I decided to go to the Seven America configuration, but use the last iteration of the BMC A Series...the 1275cc found in the late Spridgets. (Please note that the car could be returned to a "bone stock" configuration quite easily with a 948cc motor as the mounts are the same) Rebuilt by Seven Enterprises here in Auburn (who build SCCA championship Mini Cooper engines/transmissions) it was bored .010 over to get 1310cc, with a mild cam, twin SU's and the four branch exhaust, it has an estimated 90 HP and loads of bottom end torque (a guy has to have some fun out there on the roads!). Added a Gustavsen hi torque starter in the process along with a Pertronix ignition. The Spal cooling fan is independently switched and fused and provides air flow in any stop and go situations of length. I completely rewired the chassis, using one gauge heavier wire in all runs, along with marine grade spade connectors. The gauges were all sourced to be period correct...Seven Americas had chrono tachs, I added a chrono speedo. And since I had been a fan of the original Prisoner tv show which I first saw in the late 1960's, I went with the green and yellow motif, but left the lower body natural aluminum.

It was a challenge, but an immense source of fun, to rebuild it into what you see now. But, approaching our 70's (like next November) the car is just "too much"...the missus doesn't like being wind buffeted any more, and I can't blame her, and much prefers the more refined ride and civility of the Lotus Elite. So, the Seven will be available for someone to become the next caretaker, to enjoy it, maintain it and pass it along in due time to another aficiando. Thanks for all the nice comments about the car.

Okay, Mike, I'm sitting in College Station, TX. Getting ready to burn up some track time at TWS. But first, I need my morning read. :) Don't miss the new Storker (chassis #154) listing in Craigslist. Coffee's hot.......come on! :D

I received a PM during the week asking why I don't search the SCCA database as well on my search bot. Simple reason is that I dislike the SCCA. They do not treat Sevens fairly in the road racing classes and they are so bureaucratic to deal with. However, all kudos to T Walgamuth on finding a car on the SCCA forums that looks to be perfect for his needs. There are other sites I do not search deliberately as they have a reputation or from my past dealings I would not want to deal with them again. Lastly, the way the search is designed it does not analyze all websites as I have to identify the sites individually. So this list is not all inclusive - it probably only picks up 85-90% of the sevens for sale at any given time. I usually filter out 3-4 cars a week. If you see a seven that I missed then please add it - this is a collective effort to share.

 

So with that caution in mind....

 

 

First car found was from an optimistic seller. Someone in Poland listed this on Ebay USA:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lotus-Super-Seven-Roadsport-Highly-tuned-1-6-Caterham-Roadsport-with-around-185-bhp-/151602858735?forcerrptr=true&hash=item234c3c0aef&item=151602858735&pt=US_Cars_Trucks

 

Asking US$57000 buy it now. No that is not a mistype. I guess it is a 1.6L Rover K series at 185hp. Porsche gold paint looks nice - I like that shade. I think there would be a few import issues getting into the US from Poland.

 

 

Caterham SP300R for sale at $100,000

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Caterham-SP300-R-/261782681499?forcerrptr=true&hash=item3cf376b79b&item=261782681499&pt=Race_Cars_Not_Street_Legal_

 

 

A 1969 Lotus Seven S2 in restored condition in Victoria BC Canada. Twink engine. Looks really nice. Current bid US$20200

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lotus-Super-Seven-1969-lotus-super-7-/191522090889?forcerrptr=true&hash=item2c979b2f89&item=191522090889&pt=US_Cars_Trucks

 

 

A Westfield Megabusa. Looks nicely modified for auto crossing. Located in Illinois. Asking $25k buy it now. Have not seen this car before so I guess the owner is not on here?

 

Westfield Megabusa. Professionally built in 2001 by Alamo Sports Cars in Texas. One owner. Used mostly for Autocross events. Located in Chicago. Street legal with Illinois title.

 

Standard Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle engine, 1300cc all alloy, 16 valve four cylinder, double overhead camshafts, magnesium heads.

 

Features include a quaife limited slip differential, six speed sequential gearbox with separate auxiliary reverse gearbox, independent A arm suspension all round, Nitron single adjustable coil over monotube shocks, adjustable sway bars front and rear, nylon bushings throughout, AP Racing four pot calipers at front, braided brake hoses, dual circuit brakes, dry sump lubrication system, oil cooler, onboard fire suppression system, fiberglass race seats, 5 point Willans harnesses, roll bar, high speed steering rack, removable steering wheel, one set Image custom made three piece wheels, one set Team Dynamics wheels, three sets tires, build manuals, Hayabusa workshop manual.

 

Car weighs 1132 lbs with full tanks excluding driver. Engine develops approx. 180 crank HP. It is crazy fast. You can expect 0-60mph times of 3.50 seconds and a top speed of approx. 145mph.

 

Check out the Westfield Megabusa at the manufacturer’s website www.westfieldsportscars.co.uk

Would cost approx. US$40,000 to build a car like this today.

 

The car is in good mechanical condition but has a few bodywork flaws. It has been used principally for autocross racing and has suffered some “race rash” to body panels.

The gel coated fiberglass fenders and nosecone have a number of cracks and stone chips, all of which are easily repairable or replaceable.

 

The tachometer does not work. Could just be a wiring glitch but a new tach would cost approx $600. I did not need the instruments for racing and never got around to fixing this.

 

The car does not have a trunk box or lid. I left these out for easy trackside access to adjust the rear shocks and sway bars.

Now I am thinking Shane will be needing a new car shortly when he is all recovered and finished with his better half berating him for acting his shoe size instead of his age. So there is this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Used-John-Deere-Lawn-Tractor-48-17-hp-John-Deere-/151589722453?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item234b739955

 

Used John Deere Lawn Tractor 48" - 17 hp John Deere. $621 buy it now. 17hp should keep him slow enough to avoid future injuries! Then again his lovely wife may force him to take up crochet....

 

Mostly repeat ads this week - I will not repeat but just list the new one:

 

1969 Lotus Seven Series III replica.

Nicely detailed ad with pics. Very clear that it is technically a replica so the seller should be commended. Its an original Arch chassis with the correct twin cam and gearbox. However, it does not have a Lotus chassis plate. The VIN is the Arch Motors chassis number. Asking $36,995. Its a lovely car but Is it worth the premium?

Croc, xcarguy's wife here...thanks for the shout out & show of support. Having never met you personally, I can tell that we would get along brilliantly. We are on the same page-this is about the EXACT speed I had in mind for Xcarguy. (capital "X" intentional:rolleyes:):nopity:...although crocheting will be a nice start for a new hobby!:)

Hi Robin,

 

I think this will be Shane's new t-shirt from now on:

 

http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0166/4148/products/fouroffs_detail_e0f58d3a-42ac-4526-bfb8-2c8f221cc3f0_grande.png?v=1417139005

 

 

Of course once he takes up driving his new John Deere mobile then this could be his other t-shirt:

Keep him laughing - it is a cure for all sins! :D

 

Cheers

New one up - in PA too. Where has this one been hiding?

 

2007 Superlight R

Stunning 2007 Caterham Superlight-R (Listed as 1967 as E Bay wouldn't recognize Vin). This car was spec'd and built with all the best options available at the time. The car has only 1,750 miles on it and is in better than new condition. Any little bugs have been sorted and the car drives perfectly. The paintwork is excellent, everything works as it should. The car is loaded with carbon, seats, dash, wings, mirrors etc.. Engine is a tuned 2.0L Ford Ztec putting out around 220 hp.

 

The only issue the car has is it doesn't like being stored and not driven, especially in the cold and so can be difficult to start when cold

 

Car has a New Hampshire vin NH010347 but is now titled in PA and has a clean lien free title.This particular car has never seen the track and only occasional dry weather weekend drives. The car needs to find a new owner who appreciates it for what it is and drives it. Why am I selling?.. I just don't drive it enough and need the space in the garage for another toy.. and somebody should pick it up now that spring is coming. Oh, I forgot to mention it won an award at the 2014 New Hope Auto show!!.
