B-T Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Looks nice! The wiring looks especially good. What is the unattached hose near the master cylinders for? Good luck with the sale, it seems to be priced fairly. BT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbox56 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 That is for bleeding the clutch slave cylinder. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVP66S Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Very nice car. A year ago, I would have seriously considered buying it, which means I think it's priced right and excellent craftsmanship and in excellent condition. Is this a factory build? A potential buyer would want to know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croc Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Holy thread resurrection Batman! To Carphoria - I would give Tom a call on his number in the original advertisement rather than wait for him to respond here. Tom is the Birkin USA importer and distributor - really nice guy and very approachable. The website shows the car as sold but he may have others not listed or know others in the community up for sale. http://birkindirect-usa.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, he only wants to spend $15K. It appears to me that unless fairy tales come true that $25K sevens will likely not cross his path for the $15K he has that is likely burning a hole in his pocket. We have all been there I suspect? Wanting chateaubriand for a hamburger price. I suspect that Walgamuth will either have to lower his expectations and targeted cars or dig around in the sofa and come up with some loose change to move up to the higher performing/sorted sevens.

t walgamuth Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Hey, it doesn't hurt to ask. I think you'll find in my ad I am looking for ground sirloin. I expect a car with some needs. Working on a new purchase is half the fun. I'll want to paint it too and if its too nice I won't feel good about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working on a new purchase is half the fun. I'll want to paint it too and if its too nice I won't feel good about that. Walgamuth, I suspect that $15K will likely find you a nice automotive chunk of ground sirloin. I agree that looking around is half the fun. It doesn't hurt that your looking at a time where some owners cannot even imagine being able to use their sevens. The weather has been particularly wretched across the USA this year and apparently there are atmospheric anomalies that are causing all kinds of weird weather all over the place. Much good luck in your search. I was very fortunate to have found a beautifully sorted Brunton Stalker that I unfortunately only xcrossed x1. My wife sprung on me the fact that she was ready to retire and move to the beach in a flat and somewhat crowded Space Coast area. I am selling my 4-car garage home that I do not plan to replace with another 4-car garage home. I was frankly amazed at how linear and relatively easy it was to drive the M-Spec LS Storker on an autocross course. The car felt like it was running on rails with those slicks I had on it and the power was so linear that it was surprisingly not intimidating to run. I wish that I had had more time to play with that jewel but alas, I just sold my astronomy property, several large telescopes and the Storker and the house looks like it will sell in the next 60 days. Croc, xcarguy and a bunch of others are quite plugged into the seven grid and should continue to be a fountain of possibilities for you moving forward. Much good luck!

Croc Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Astro Bob - I guess something got lost in the message :seeya: as my post was responding to Carphoria above Tom's. I agree wholeheartedly with Tom's message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbox56 Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Yes this car has been sold. I don't have any in need of work cars at this time other that a complete build. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfaulbaum Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Yes this car has been sold. I don't have any in need of work cars at this time other that a complete build. TomHello Tom, I was the builder and original owner of that car. I drove it every decent day. Will need another one in the next six months. Am ready for my fix.
