Apologies, I missed that. I fitted gel to my last car. I’ll probably go that way again, thanks for your help.

I’m grateful for the advice, but what are the other main options? Gel and lithium?

Agreed. I mention the CSR only because that’s what I need the battery for. The one fitted (by a previous owner) doesn’t actually fit the battery tray properly and I’ll probably just get a Banner, but I’m always open to suggestions of something better.

Correct Jonathan. My handbook gives the warning in two separate places, but I agree you are probably right about dumb chargers. My conditioner came from Aldi (!) but have never experienced any problem with my previous Caterhams. I did search the library but gave up after looking through five or six pages of results (including the one about the DAB radio that works on the mains but not on battery).

i was simply going to ask for recommendations for a replacement 12v battery for my 2007 CSR. Then I read the owner handbook. To paraphrase, it says the battery must be removed before charging as failure to do so “may seriously damage the electrical system”. Really? So what about plugging the trickle charger/battery conditioner into the cigarette lighter? So two questions to those who know: what battery, please, and is the cig lighter system safe to use (because I plug in every time I put the car away)?

Nothing to do with me. I bought a car from a private owner who kept it in storage at Hampshire Classics and they told me about this Supersprint at the time. It is from a deceased estate. I know nothing more than that. https://www.hampshireclassicsltd.co.uk/inventory/2018-caterham-seven-supersprint-s3-special-edition-with-full-polished-windscreen-with-mohair-hood-and-side-screens/

Bump. Price reduced.

Please click this link to view my advert on Pistonheads for my cherished 2005 SV, which I have loved since I purchased it in 2010. However, a bad case of upgradeitis means it has to go, as I have my eye on the Caterham that will provide me with the cure. I am based on the North Wales coast.

Posted on behalf of Andy Stott, a member of North Wales Red Dragons. Chris You kindly invited us along to a coffee and Natter a couple of months ago which we all really enjoyed. I would like to return the kindness and invite you and other Lotus 7's to our club stand at Shelsley Walsh Retro Rides Gathering at Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb circuit on Sunday 23rd August. I created and event on the Dragons Facebook page but am unable to share it outside the group but have pasted the text below. Best wishes Andy Stott. Where? Shelsley Walsh, Worcestershire, Worcester.

Get your tickets here.http://retrorides.tictail.com/product/rr-gathering-sunday-only-ticket Tickets are £7.50 in advance, or £10 on the gate, so 25% off in advance, and you’ll get in quicker, so totally buy in advance. I will request the maximum 25 tickets for a club stand. These will get you into the arena ONLY. ***********YOU MUST RING AND ORDER YOUR OWN TICKET(£7.50) or BUY YOUR OWN TICKET ON THE DAY AT THE GATE************ RWYB Hillclimb As always we are running our fantastic RWYB hillclimb. Given the fast and unforgiving nature of Shelsley Walsh we’re requiring helmets this year and passenger rides are for 15’s and over. Details of this can be found here. Club Displays We are of course open to club stands again this year and now we have more room than ever, so there is no cap on stand size. For more information have a look at our club page. Retro Parking If you aren’t with a club but you arrive with a pre-91 car we will put you in the show in the retro parking area alongside the club area. Prizes Once again we’ll have prize giving, we’ll announce the categories later in the year. Every vehicle within the show is eligible for prizes, including those in retro parking. Why You Should Come The Retro Rides Gathering is on the move to the historic Shelsley Walsh Hillclimb in Worcestershire. As always we will bring together our mix of club stands and RWYB hillclimb action, along with invited guest cars, retro parking, trade stands, prizes and our great laid back atmosphere. Our club stands always a attracts a diverse range of clubs in ever increasing numbers, this year we have even more room for them, we’ll also be able to host the Retro Parking in the same field. So far we have well over a thousand retro club stand cars booked in across over seventy clubs and we expect this number to continue rising. Guest cars are one of our favourite parts of the show, giving us the excuse to make cars we really want to see attend the show. In the past we have been the first event in the UK to bring a competing Berg Cup car to the UK from Europe and run it up the hillclimb. We’ve bought over mind blowing 1000bhp monsters and had rare race cars take to the hill at our events. This year we’re planning even more special cars for our guest slots, so keep an eye on our facebook page for updates. As we always say Hot Hatch to Hot Rod, Racer to Road Car, Drifter to Daily the Retro Rides Gathering blends it all together into a delicious day of car action. Sunday 23rd August, don’t miss it!

Rob I have an SV nose cone, unpainted and still in the box, as supplied to me new by Caterham in 2010. Slight problem is I'm in North Wales. Open to offers if it's any use. Regards Chris

Yup, 'twas me and son Ben. We were enjoying a full English at the Ellan Vannin before a tour of the south of the island and a run around the Billown Circuit prior to today's TT Classic. Just a shame about the rain!

*arrowup* Please find this lost soul a car - I'm sick of him as a passenger!

Thanks Nick, I would appreciate first dibs if no one minds. Looking forward to meeting up.

Planning to trawl the stands at Stoneleigh for a pair of rear view mirrors to fit the centre holes of the windscreen uprights. Unless someone can save me the trouble. Must suit black pack screen surround of my SV.

Standard tonneau in mint condition, barely if ever used. Ex Roadsport with centre zip, no pockets. £70 ovno. See it at Stoneleigh Sat pm/Sun or by post at cost.

Have a linky on me.

Six here too please. Chris

'Twas me and Dave Clarke on our way to Paul Formston's house for a cuppa. Generous man that Paul.
