xcarguy Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Trust me, I have met many people on this forum and none of them qualify as "lookers" in my usage of that term! They all have faces only a mother would love! As difficult as it was, my mother loved me dearly in childhood. She still loves me today...but it certainly hasn’t gotten any easier for her. :jester: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeagleGuy78 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Is there something wrong with that Birkin? I was eyeballing it as possibly my entry into Superseven replica ownership .... It's right in my budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Its a great question Beagleguy. I don't get why it has not had more interest at that price? It is a fairly basic spec based on todays crop of cars and that could just be it. Its also way out there for location for a lot of people if they want to inspect in person.

Kitcat Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) The Birkin: I have to wonder about how serious someone is who puts a car up for sale, leaves it very dirty and then photographs it, and its various spares, in a dirt driveway? And he couldn't be bothered to at least put a piece of black racer's tape over the large seat rip? Apart from the poor presentation, for the $ it could be a decent car with strong engine. What problems lurk beneath is the question. At least it wasn't built by TMW. Maybe some here knows something about the reputation of the CA builder? At 12,000 miles over 13 years it hasnt had much use. Maybe he is ready to cut a deal? Edited April 23, 2018 by Kitcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeagleGuy78 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 There is a Blue Caterham SV advertised on http://www.sevenselans.com Anyone know if that is a legit site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 It is legit. The owner has built/sold tons of Cats over the year. My first Cat was built by them and was great. The website is often way out of date, so the car you see may have sold years ago. Also prices tend to be a bit high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukchris Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Chris used to be the “dealer” in New England then relocated to fL, I guess he’s not official but has been doing this for a long time and is well regarded from what I’ve heard. I’ve talked to him a few times and he’s always been helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitcat Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I like that the newly listed Caterham features a Dedion suspension "all around." That's interesting! Otherwise it looks like a very nice, lightly used, pre-Zetec/Duratec era Cat.(Less power, offset by better sound). Probably a $20-23K car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
