Caesar Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 After too many years away from serial seven ownership I have the hunger again!I simply want a fun 7 to drive in the good months, get away from the Surrey speed humps and go to France. Cosmetics are not an issue but an 'individual' car would be nice!Having had some serious stuff including a JPE and a CSR 260 I now just want some pleasure on a budget hence my top limit of £12k.Anyone wanting to sell at this miserable time of year?

fatal3rror Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Hi Caesar I have a 1993 1600 Super Seven for sale here: https://www.lotus7.club/forum/market-place/sale-1993-super-sprint-1600-crossflow Having been to Le Mans and Champagne in summer this year, can definitely say 'been there done that'!

nickh7 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 You’d get a good ex race car for that . Handling is key for the real run surly. I d save some budget to get a really good set of dampers and a flat floor. / set up session . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 Hi, many thanks for the speedy reply! I have seen yours on the forum and it looks really nice however, to be honest, it is not quite what I am looking for. You will surely find a buyer who wants the 'classic' look. All the Best, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7 wonders of the world Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Interesting x flow on fleabay for £7500 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Caterham-7-1600/153370438136?hash=item23b59729f8:g:TVQAAOSw8uFcXbRG:rk:1:pf:0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJKInce Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I would keep an eye on the exrace cars popping up for sale. It’s what I went for and by the time I’d converted to road and had it wrapped etc I have a 4,000mile 2010 Supersport with lots of mechanical TLC for £15k. May be able to get an old academy or Roadsport for around £12-13?https://www.graduates.org.uk/forsale.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 Yes, I saw the Black eBay one pop up. Wish it was a bit closer to my Surrey location though! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
