Area Representative paul richards Posted March 14, 2013 Area Representative Share Posted March 14, 2013 An opportunity to buy a unique S3 Caterham 7 which is in "as new" condition. The car was built by Richard Lee (of Carbon-Bits) for his wife Henrietta during 2007 and will be known to many Lotus 7 Club members. All the panels on this car are of carbon fibre and the quality and workmanship of the carbon and the entire car are to an excellent standard. (Those who knew Richard or have purchased his products will know his exacting standards and the quality of his products). Car was first registered on 25th April 2008 and has been stored in an air chamber ever since. The car has hardly been used (stored for the last 2 years) and has completed a total of only 4,189 dry miles.

Toyo Proxes R888 tyres. Tillet seats. 6 point Luke harnesses. Carbon race mirrors. FIA Master switch. Black aero fuel filler cap. Car has full weather gear (doors and custom made hood to suit tall FIA bar). Carbon dash. Carbon transmission tunnel cover. Tonneau cover. Custom hood bag. The car is finished in bare carbon with roll bar, wings, bonnet and nosecone in hot pink pearl. (Pink parts are all easily removable for re-painting if required). Exterior bodywork is extensively protected by Armourfend. Car will be sold with the unique CA07BON number plate. Car currently garaged in Scottish Borders and viewing by appointment. Offered for sale at £18,750. See pistonheads advert for pictures here Contact Paul Richards (0161 763 5410) for more details or to arrange viewing.

David Brown Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Can confirm that this is an absloutely beautifully made car and selling price in no way reflects the work that went in to it. With some engine work it would absolutely fly as it must be very light. Have to say the colour after it was resprayed may not be to everyone's taste although it was obviously Henrietta's. (on thinking about Richard's lime green jersey, perhaps it was his choice) David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative paul richards Posted March 16, 2013 Author Area Representative Share Posted March 16, 2013 Quoting mcerbm: how much does it weigh will all the carbon parts fitted? Don't know is the answer. If I were to guess I would suggest it is only a little lighter than an aluminium panelled car, but it does look good. The pictures don't capture the quality of the CF panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
