I just adore that car Ross -just the most complete 7 i've ever been in -even witha dodgy driver
Wont stay long around at that price i reckon
Not many 7s left now in Scotingland 😳

Hold on there chaps -are you saying that the half doors without the deflectors prevents the buffetting -or do you need both ?

i think 11k is a lot for a car with 30k miles on a k series SS engine -i mean comapre what 12k would buy you in a 7
Having said that i still hanker after a 21 -its like having an effette 7 with none of the drawbacks but many of the benefits

Funilly enough i was chased by one of these just last nite and they are rather quick in a straight line -had trouble shaking him off -until it came to the twisty stuff

my advice is that if youre in dunfermline speak to mike stewart [01821 642576 Muirhouses, The Grange, Errol, Perth, Perthshire PH2 7TB,] who really knows how to set up a 7 for iether road or track -he prepares Elans for racing and is very highly regarded

i agree with simon
ive had 2 prev dedion axle 7s - a VXE and a BDR ,as well as an Ital live axled twin cam
My present lFord English ive axle xflow rides much nicer than either of dedion cars just because of the way the adjustable springs and dampers [spax]are set up -much more compliant over bumps and less skitish on the road -ive also got a front arb .
So its worth getting a fully adjustable platform and getting somone who knows what they are doing to play around with it until it suits your purpose -ie mines set up for road use and would need to be adjusted to firm things up at the back for track use .
So the bottom line is that a poorly set up dedion may well not ride as well as a well set up live axle -im told tby mike stewart that he ford live axle is much better than the ital axle .

top piece of kit -i had one installed in my VXE with a remote oil fliter and oil cooler in the circuit -mine had the auto lube at start up which is nice
