Hi everyone,

I must have missed a couple of answers. Some parts have been sold. I' ll make an update at the end of the month.

Hi everyone,

SM25T, Ian, will bring in total 12 green-yellow stickers (so 3 sets of 4) and 24 black-silver stickers (so 6 sets).

Since there are no p&p costs, he can sell them for £5 / set.

Ian will be at Donington the whole weekend, but it will be easy to find him at the Friday night special display in the museum. Look for the blue metallic SV with registration number K18 RSV.

Cheers

Hi,

Interested in your set alloys. Have you got the original centre caps from those years, including the badges?

Cheers

Hi everyone,

SM25T, Ian, will bring the remaining stock to Donington.

@b1ggles, one set reserved for you, I' ll send you a message.

@Toughie, the same.

Cheers

Update on the remaining stock

I still have 2 sets of green-yellow stickers and 10 sets of black-silver ones.

A set consists 8 stickers. I have to sell them in this quantity otherwise I lose money on the p&p.

It is indeed the blue car, there were some (a lot of) ex-Graduates cars for sale. Owned by Tony Jaffe, but there was another name on it when I saw it last time.

So I am only missing the history from the build in 2004 untill the date that Tony started racing with it in the Graduates in 2008.

Charles,

Indeed, his car was for sale at McMillan. I am going to try to reconstruct the history when the car was racing in the Academy. Tony told me that he started racing with this car in 2008 in the Graduates.

Roger,

Thank you for the offer, but I really haven' t got the time to start racing and prepare for it. When I engage myself in something, I want to do it on a serious level, getting some decent results. Otherwise I only get frustrated.

I do not know who was the first owner of my car and who ran it in the Academy. I only know the second owner, Tony Jaff, who raced the car from 2008 in the Graduates. I have asked him this week to gather as much documents as possible. I' ll also ask Caterham for the info they have about the car.

Cheers

Thx guys, I have learned a lot.

A last question, more an opinion. I would like to run the car on the road on the "standard" Avon CR322 185/70 they used in the Academy. On track it would be the Yoko 048 in 185/60, they use nowadays in the Graduates.

With the 185/70, the ground clearance raises with at least 15mm for road use and the yearly MOT, this without touching the suspension.

Do you think this is the right choice or are there better options?

Dear Charles,

Thank you, this is just the information I was looking for. The reason for asking is that my collection of toys will be enlarged with an ex-Academy car from the 2005 season and I want to know what the original specification was in those days.

I shall certainly dig into your blog, great! Personally I like people who document those things

1. Was it allowed to race with a standard seat? Were the race seats supplied by Caterham the Tillett seat they still use?

2. Were the seatbelts the black Caterham - Luke harness?

I am looking for documents, pictures, ... concerning the original Academy 2005 spec.

I already have a Caterham spec sheet for the 2004 season, technically those cars were identical to the 2005 season.

Especially interested in 2005 spec.: nose badge, rear badges, alloys and tyres, rollover bar and side impact bar, possible options delivered by factory, ..

Thx!

Since my new Caterham will be mainly focused on track days, I can return my Lotus Elise S1 111S to full road specification.

For sale following parts:

- a pair of Raceline RL7 alloys 7.5 x 16

- a Motorsport diffuser

Hi Andrew,

I still have black - silver stickers.

Please write me a mail with your address and I' ll put 2 sets in the post.

Hi,

When looking for (Belgian) MOT compliant mirrors, in combination with an aeroscreen and full rollcage, I stumbled upon a picture or the green Superlight R in the 2002 brochure.

This car had large mirrors mounted besides the aeroscreen, not the small race mirrors. These large mirrors probably have EC marking. A must in Belgium.

Does anyone know which mirrors Caterham used on that Superlight R?

A picture of that car is on my blog: https://www.lotus7.club/blogs/after-5-years-no-seven-next-one-being-put-together

We used to have the white square - Union Jack Lotus Seven Club stickers.

Does anyone has a couple of them lying around. Being old-fashioned I would like to use it on my new Seven.

Or perhaps we can convince the club to make them again ... ?!

Hi,

Just a reminder that there are still enough black-silver and green-yellow stickers available.

Cheers

Hi,

Interested, can you send it to a friend in Kent.

Hi Pendennis,

This might suit my Elise S1. I' ll have a look at the Demon Tweeks site this evening and let you know.

Hanns Per,

Amazing, we should team up in order to found a new multinational to supply the world with top quality handmade Super 7 badges.

Jonathan,

I have first 2 editions of the Magnificent Seven by Chris Rees, the 2 books by Jeremy Coulter and the book by John Tipler.

There is also a third edition of the Magnificent Seven and C. Rees also published another book "Caterham Sevens". Perhaps in those, there is more information.

Cheers

Hi guys,

Thanks for all the help. I have got some books but the info is quite often not detailled enough or sometimes confusing.

I shall send my e-mailaddress to Simon and Ian.

Cheers

The new batch of black - silver stickers are ready.

Already 4 sets are gone, so 14 sets remaining.

The price is the same as for the green - yellow ones, £6, p&p included.

Cheers

Hi everyone,

In order to define the specification of my "new" 1990' s Seven (rebuild of 1990' s chassis) I am looking for pictures and information of following Limited Editions:

1. 1.4 K series Roadsport: late 1995 - early 1996. If some-one has pictures or an article of the first demonstrator (yellow car), this would be great.

2. 1.6 K series Superlight first series: from 1997 until ?

3. 1.6 or 1.8 K series Clubsport: 1998 - 1999. To my knowledge only 5 cars were ever built.

All the info concerning the original factory specification is welcome!

Thanks

Just a quick update that the black - silver stickers will be ready in 2 weeks time.

I can do the first postage on Monday 19.12.2016.

Cheers
