The Regular Summary of Classified Ads of Se7ens Found For Sale

And shilling it along the way :ack:

 

Check out the bidding history for the guy who bid $ 25,201 as well as the bidder who is the high bidder at $26,362.62 for starters. Personally, I'd never trust a seller who has to illegally shill is own auctions in an attempt to "make his market".

I wonder what it sold for. Was interested but hawaii state law requires windshield and wipers which are 1500$ from caterham

 

Did you see the one for sale in Hawaii recently? Would save having to import or even modify....assuming that is where you are located?

Its 4.30am and I cannot sleep as my foot is punishing me for doing many bad things on it yesterday (e.g. walking). So I might as well have a mug of tea and prowl the car ads.

 

 

Three Caterhams on Ebay right now - the 2005 crossflow Caterham that has been awarded recognition by Mr Mustang as Shiller of the Month is on there. But there are 2 others:

 

1992 Caterham 1800cc crossflow. States that it is no reserve and then does a starting bid of $25500. I suppose that is one way to make reserve! This ad is confusing - it says the car is in BC Canada as well as stating it is in the US. I guess he is using a US Ebay ad to pull in possible US buyers. Although as it is a 1992 it would not be eligible for import to the USA. Canadian buyers preferred I guess?

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lotus-Super-Seven-Super-7-Sprint-1992-caterham-lotus-super-seven-sprint-1800-dedion-no-reserve-/111466895696?forcerrptr=true&hash=item19f3f1d950&item=111466895696&pt=US_Cars_Trucks

 

 

Next up in the confusing ad stakes is a 1973 Lotus Seven S3. Except it is not - it then states it is a first year Caterham. Same car but will people pay a premium for Lotus over Caterham? 13500 miles. Lovely looking car although I never did like the fairing on the roll cage around those years. Twin cam with 4 speed box. 94 watchers on Ebay so it is popular. Buy it now is $34990. Not sure about some of the claims - matching numbers? Never tracked? Being sold by AutoKennel which will have meaning for some.

Same ad on Craigslist

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/ctd/4667830013.html

 

 

2013 Birkin with IRS and Duratec and 5 speed T9 gearbox. Previously listed on this thread. Nice spec and nice looking car. 650 miles $38629 Buy it now. Starting bid is $35600. Lots of negotiation room there....

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replica-Kit-Makes-Lotus-Seven-Birkin-S3-S3-2013-lotus-seven-birkin-s-3-2-0-duratec-irs-profesionally-/151414204962?forcerrptr=true&hash=item2340fd6a22&item=151414204962&pt=US_Cars_Trucks

 

1992 Westfield Seight asking $6.49. Yes $6.49 - thats all canoes are worth these days :jester: Actually it is a nice brochure thing for the man cave.

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1992-WESTFIELD-SEIGHT-ROADSTER-UNIQUE-IMP-BROCHURE-/371140401313?pt=Motors_Manuals_Literature&hash=item5669b118a1&vxp=mtr

 

 

A repeat visitor. 2013 Caterham CSR. F1 Team paint scheme. $84500. Brand new and registered SB100 in CA. Probably a good discount over anything being offered new by Caterham USA these days.

 

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/4674645186.html

 

 

2001 Caterham in white with red stripe. Repeat visitor. $38500. Located in the same workshop as the CSR above. Registered SB100 in CA with 500 miles and brand new. I guess this was a unbuilt kit now finally finished off? 2L Zetec with 5 speed.

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/4673444165.html

 

 

A previously shown on here Superformance S1. 2002. 10700 miles 2L Zetec. $25000 in Ohio.

 

http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/4612673374.html

 

 

A lesson in how not to advertise a car - no photos! Hard to judge the price without photos! Here is the ad:

 

1960's Lotus Seven 7 clone - $4450 (Cullman)

title status : clean

 

..this is an early Seven clone that came from one of the SouthEast Auto Museums .. I stripped the chassis to bare metal and have repainted and re assembled it.

 

The Kent motor and transmission are not with the car, and there are many choices of vintage and current motor options, depending on your preferences....

 

Body panels are readily available

 

This is a good opportunity if you have always wanted to complete one of these super quick cars for street or track

 

age shown is approximate, and it is a clone , not a true LOTUS

 

http://huntsville.craigslist.org/cto/4672068031.html

 

 

Locost chassis seven project asking $750. Needs some work, some parts, some labor, liquid courage....

http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/cto/4648024366.html

 

 

Another what looks to be Locost seven project. Advanced rolling stage. Lots of good quality parts listed. 350z engine with 6 speed which is a really interesting choice. Obviously would still need a lot of work to bring it to perfection. Located in AZ $6000

 

http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/4670225707.html

 

 

Locost rolling chassis (barely...) in Seattle for $1200

http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/4669338182.html

 

 

No Stalkers this week and it looks like the Craigslist ad for the Honolulu car has finally expired - not sure if that means sold.

Mike,

 

I'd tell you to get a life, but afterward, I'd have to sit my coffee on the night stand, get out of bed and go look myself in the mirror. :jester:

Sounds like one here about a year ago. Very old looking. Rough. In some "museum" donated but not wanted, by them. Maybe bought cheap by someone for the engine/gearbox? I can't remember the asking price (with engine), but I don't think it was more that now, without.

Shane, the wild man with the broken foot, was at the track this weekend, and although he professed that he would drive slow enough that he didn't need to brake, the red mist took hold and he was flying around the track like a mad man. I'm sure he's having trouble getting to the computer as his foot is probably swollen to the size of a bowling ball. :ack::smash::smash::smash:

 

That should get a response.

Yes - I take the heat fairly. :banghead: I should not have driven on track on Saturday...well.....the red mist should not have descended and I should have taken it easy in the CSR after the clutch went boom in the maroon Caterham but I was determined to lap everyone a few times over in my session....:o

 

My foot was paying me back yesterday and today - I was in agony. It did swell up badly by yesterday evening. For those that dont know I managed to fall at home and make 14 breaks in 10 bones in my right foot. :ack:

 

 

I will go looking for cars for Shane shortly. :seeya:

It's good to hear you go ALL OUT in everything you do :devil: , I had to have a surgeon work on my foot to take me out of action. Save some ice from the beer cooler for the foot.

I am not listing all the same old locust project cars - they are still out there on craigslist.

 

However, here is a beauty for Shane. I think it may be an electric seven. Is that an electric motor in the boot/trunk area? Needs some finishing touches to be perfect. A few wiring things to tidy up. Maybe a bit of a polish to make her shine? $1500.

http://janesville.craigslist.org/cto/4674910930.html

 

 

The Super Storker in Fort Meyers is still out there for sale on craigslist. Bit surprised this has not sold as it nicely prepared and a good spec.

Did no one recognize the missing LotuVolks? The front suspension is classic. Combine the genius of Porsche, Chapman and Watts and this is what you get.
