scannon Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I agree with the opinions of Jon stated above. He can be hard to reach because he frequently travels on business. That's his shop in the pictures, I've been there many times. If that green car is an SV widebody I would be tempted to bid on it if I weren't saving up to trade in my 2017 Shelby GT350 on the 2020 GT500 that was recently revealed.

Kitcat Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 The seller of the Hemmings Caterham R300 (Worldwide Motors) seems a bit confused. He notes that the costs of parts and restoration are going up. And that is that supposed to tempt me to buy this? But he says the value of the vehicle is also going up-since they dont make these anymore. Funny, I thought last year was Caterham's biggest production year?

Croc Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Yes Mike - and confusing it more is that the actual cost and parts are coming down thanks to the UK pound acting like a third world currency which is what drove Caterham to have such a banner production sales year on new cars. And with the political turmoil destined to continue I don't see that changing for 12 months or more. Perfect time to buy a new one methinks, or even a second hand one since that market is depressed by the new Caterham car market. Moral of this story: Always do your homework and shop around before committing to buy. This reposting forum thread is littered with Ebay & Craigslist sellers who after a year (or three) are unable to sell their car because it is overpriced.

TNcoupe Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I cant understand why they cost so much when you get so little. I want that 360r on Hemmings pretty badly but $45k for a go kart is expensive. I had less than that in my Factory Five Daytona Coupe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowss7 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I cant understand why they cost so much when you get so little./QUOTE] For just driving around on the street, you may be right, but these cars are amazing track toys. You might be able to go faster down the straight in the cobra, but the Caterham will lap you at least once and maybe more times during a typical session. Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, you can't replicate the driving experience. You drive the car, no ABS, no PSM, no traction control. just you and the car. Take one out on track and you will understand. IMO. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 TNcoupe: I find that particular Caterham pretty tempting as well:). Maybe they will sell it for less, it's been there a while? Unlike most sports/sporty cars, Caterhams hold their value reasonably well. I bought a new '08 BMW M3 for $75K and sold it 3 years later for $45K. An identical one just sold on BAT for$19K. Caterhams seem to have a residual value of between $20-35K, and up depending on spec, in spite of age, mileage, etc. So, if logic ever has a role in this type of purchase, it would be to recognize the vehicle's excellent resale value. I can say that issue made absolutely no difference to me, tho, I just had to have one:)! A Caterham, or any se7en, for most owners is an emotional purchase not a rationale one. I fully intended to sell my Cat after I bought the M3. But it was the M3 that went. It just didn't generate the happiness/excitement that my Cat did (and still does) 12 years later.

I understand that too. Im currently shopping for my next fun/track car. Cayman S, Evora 400, M2 Competition, Alfa 4c, of Caterham 360R. I can drive most of those in the rain.

If you want to be one with the pavement add six to get seven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 TNc: I drove my street legal Cat in the rain all of the time. The full weather kit actually works. Yes, there is a drip here and there but it is nice and cozy all buttoned up inside. Getting in and out with the top up and the "doors" on in the rain IS a bit of a comic adventure. And other vehicles' ability to see your already diminutive car is further obscured by tire spray. But it's doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNcoupe Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I understand the full weather kit but I sure like em with no windshield and would just wear a helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vovchandr Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I understand the full weather kit but I sure like em with no windshield and would just wear a helmet.This is essentially a 360R or even a 400R. All it needs is the aero piece and maybe a few other small bits and pieces to make it "right" for you. Price will be around ~25,000 when finished. Certainly makes it more reasonable to afford vs the $45k figure. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2002-caterham-super-seven-2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNcoupe Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Too far to drive...plus I can pump my own gas thank you. I'd have to drive past VIR to get there and its the best track Ive ever driven on. If it wasnt 7hrs from home Id run there all the time. Road ATL and Barber are the closest road courses to my house. Not a bad choice in the bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
