The Regular Summary of Classified Ads of Se7ens Found For Sale

[xcarguy]

Yep, those Storkers are pretty unpredictable at times.

[kohete]

This car is basically in my backyard, but I'm not 7-savvy enough to know if a) this is a good car or rolling trouble, b) $25k is reasonable.

 

Coming from 7 years of driving an Elise daily, during which I took it apart more than once, I'm ready to put plenty of elbow grease into maintaining it, but I do want to be able to drive more than a few miles between teardowns

 

Thoughts?

 

But wait there is more!

[IDreamOfChapman]

That listing is expired, are you sure the car is still available?

 

I watch the market pretty closely, I'd posit that at this moment in June of 2014 $25k is on the high side (but not unreasonable) for an x-flow powered car. It would have to be very clean, sorted, and otherwise well equipped for me to think it was worth that however. Hard to tell now that the listing is gone but it is implied by the text there it is an older chassis and there is no indication of mileage...

Edited June 6, 2014 by IDreamOfChapman

[Kitcat]

I agree with the high-side estimate.

 

Also impossible to know how reliable any given Caterham will be. I would favor those that have been used regularly over cars that have sat for years ("Low mileage!"). Seeing and driving the car will tell you a lot. And if you can test a couple, then you have a point of reference for what to look for, how they shd drive, etc.

 

Typically, a Caterham is pretty reliable, once fully sorted. I have zero mechanical skill and was always able to trouble shoot/fix whatever came up on a trip.

 

Pluses in the X-flow models are 5 sp, Dedeion, long cockpit, FIA roll-over bar, non-bench seats, full paint. The Craigslist car seemed to have some nice engine work wh/is always a plus as well.

[RoyzMG]

This same car has been listed on Craigslist for over a year.

[coffee break]

I wonder what the chassis number is.

[Croc]

No affiliation with this but this could be a good example of how not to sell a car - no sexy photos in your ad to entice in buyers? Not sure if the owner is on here as an alternative?

Here is my partially completed "Locost" project. It has a 1989 Nissan 300zx Turbo engine mounted to a 1990 Nissan 300zxTT Transmission. The rear end is a 1997 Chevrolet Camaro SS (3.42 ratio).

 

The chassis is a Mcsorley +442 chassis (4" longer 2" wider and 2" taller than a original Lotus 7). I have taken the design 1 step further and increased the tube diameter from 1" square tubing to 1-1/4" for added strength as the engine is MUCH bigger and MUCH more powerful than the original specification. All done in CAD for accuracy and fitment.

 

I have a TON of parts for the project most of the "expensive" parts i think are bought and included in the sale.

 

Corbeau A4 seats (drivers is on a sider)

Willwood pedal set with adj brake bias

Autometer gauges + tach and boost

qa1 shocks and springs

Koyo radiator

Spal Fan

Miata steering rack

Magna flow muffler

Turbo flange for exhaust

I think this is MrMustang's car.

http://greenville.craigslist.org/cto/4500481610.html

 

2001 Birkin Lotus 7 replica

Only bad is the clutch slips a little in 2nd and 3rd gears under hard acceleration. It was suggested to me today that the clutch issue might be as simple as a bleeding of the hydraulics, I cannot confirm this as again I am not a mechanic. I do have a box of additional upgrade parts for the car. Included is another clutch set up, oil cooler, 4 point belts for the passenger seat as well as the original 3 point self retracting belts for the drivers side and a host of other small bits and pieces. I have attached another picture above to show some of the extra parts included.

 

Stuck in a corporate rental apartment, losing my indoor storage in SC where we are currently located. Car is ultra aggressively priced to sell for this reason and this reason only.

 

Fifth

This is really a project...

http://macon.craigslist.org/cto/4511604391.html

 

Well I started this build and lost interest. It is the start to a lotus 7. It uses Miata suspension and I decided to go with a ka24de out of a 240sx for my motor and transmission. I have custom motor and tranny mounts already built for this motor and transmission. You can find everything you need to finish this build at http://www.locostusa.com , the car comes with a ka24de bare block block, 5spd transmission, Miata LSD rear end, Miata spindles and brakes, hiem joints to build the control arms, moog ball joints, Miata non power steering rack, extra tubing, absolutely everything I have for this build will be going with it! Any questions I would be more then happy to answer via text $750

I like the white treatment on the body and the Revolution wheels - suits the Series 4 shape. And its got a BDG! :cool dude: And holy tachometer Batman! And I am amazed SCCA would be ok with that roll bar! It is very much period correct but still!

Lotus Super 7 D Modified SCCA Street Legal Race Car w/BDG Cosworth Engine. It's a turn key SCCA vintage Lotus racer.

 

It's sad to part with my 1974 S4 (The final final Original Lotus 7) Car. It is a Spec D Modified Race Car with a Formula (Lotus) Ford BDG 16V (not A, G is more desirable) engine - tuned and setup for the street. The Engine is fully rebuilt with about a couple hundred miles on it and was rebuilt in the mid 90's, has the Firebottle system installed, Accu-pump Oil pressure system, Sump pump system, new battery, and a whole lot of other modifications - too many to list. I have most all of the receipts, restoration (body & engine) photos and also have many of the original and extra bits like the glass panels, top, side door panels, tire bracket in the rear, engine blanket, et al. Also, I'll throw in hoosier slicks (2 pairs) and wheels if the price is at asking. Currently the motor has a pair of Weber DCOE 45's and shifts really smooth.

 

Car runs really strong. The frame is strait and no accidents. The car is sprayed in the GM Corvette Perl White with a few minor flaws.

 

It's a lot of fun to drive around.

 

Clear Colorado Title. My car is located in Denver.

 

Asking: $35900 / ob serious offer

 

Ping me over email if there are any questions. Please be serious as my time is limited and no low ballers.

Now that is a pretty stalker.

 

However, if I was just going to use one for the street..... I'd just get a Superformance S1.

 

Cmon guys, use her for what she was designed for!!!

[Croc]

So I am bored in the office looking at the nuclear explosion of paper on my desk and have happily distracted myself looking at cars! none of these have any affiliation to me - just reposting for the "shoppers" out there.

 

On Fleabay is a repeat appearance of this R500 at Lamborghini Palm Beach. Only a 1000 miles, some price negotiation and this makes more sense than a new Caterham as it has only 1000 miles, has more hp than a new 480, lots of good options and is cheaper. And if you are on the East Coast then it is cheaper to ship than the West Coast and you probably get better customer service since it is a Lamborghini dealership in ritzy Palm Beach.

Here is the ebay listing to the nice BRG and yellow stripe Birkin that Tom posted on this forum section in another thread. I think the Zetec is the slightly higher horsepower SVT version given it appears to have the VCT in the cam cover:

http://columbus.craigslist.org/ctd/4540309638.html

 

 

I'll refrain from commenting on the color (but I want to, I reeeally want to). The engine is probably the Cosworth YB which uses the Pinto block topped with a Cosworth twin cam head. Westfield offered a turbo version in the early to mid 90's, called the Zei220, that I believe was essentially the engine from the Sierra Cosworth. The non-turbo version was pretty popular in the day, since it bolted in with factory pieces, and offered a lot of power potential thanks to the head design. The downside was weight.

 

-John

[Croc]

Thanks for clarifying John. The YB engine was what I was thinking of for the Pinto reference I made.

 

I am a little surprised we see so few Westfields for sale - they are really rare yet they have sold a decent number in the US?

Original? The ID plate has CATERHAM on it. Hmmm

[xcarguy]

I looked at the 2000 Birkin(Tom's listing) up close and personal a few years ago. From what I remember, it was nicely sorted and the air intake box was a hand built aluminum unit.

[xcarguy]

Since John won't commit on the Westie, I will ; how about Purple People Eater? A member needs to purchase this car and bring it into the fold.
