Today, 11:25am on narrow lane just outside Llangoed heading NE in the direction of Puffin Island.

Purchased new in 2016 and used as a "garage" thereafter (the road wheels/tyres were removed and stored in the loft). Delivery mileage only. Spare wheel, manual winch. Just had a professional service of the running gear etc by local trailer specialist (invoice, for £258.38, plus NTTA certificate available). 

Gross weight 2,700 kgs, load capacity 1,700 kgs. Bed length 4.88 metres, bed width 1.98 metres. See PRG website for full specification. Current list price is £9,834 (incl VAT). PM me for further photos/info. 

Price £6,500 (no VAT)

 I purchased this item ten years ago (in a club bulk buy) and have used it less than a handful of times. See photos for condition (which is as new) and the last photo for further details.

Price £30 - including 2nd class signed for postage to uk mainland only

The structure is sound and rigid but there are many stone chips and it would benefit from sanding and repainting (see photos).

It is an older style grill I think from about the early 1990s. Distance between the lugs is 22cms.

Price £15 (plus UK mainland postage @ £5 for 2nd class signed for). 

Condition is as new (see photos), no rips or tears.  Dustproof, breathable, super soft lining, 3 layer non-hydroscopic material. RRP is £125.

Price £75 plus £10 postage (for uk mainland 2nd class signed for).

L7 VXE on V778 retention document c/w two sets of number plates (one standard size, one small "show" size).

£350

I purchased this system in 2007 and have used it for most winters to give ease of access for working on my C7 S3. The main ramps raise the car by about 40cms with the facility for raising the car further by using the cross beams and lift beam kit (using bottle jack(s)-not included).

See photos for condition and items comprising the system (obvs not the other loft contents!).

Collection only (from Anglesey) as components are bulky (and won't fit in our daily driver).

pm me for any further info.

Price £475 

Hi Gary,

Yes, it is the original badge (which I removed 8/9 years ago and put somewhere safe where it remained until I found it today).

It would be great if you are able to have other badges 3D printed from it before re-affixing to the HPC. 

I have your address and will post it early next week.

David

Gary,

What perfect timing.

I have been in the loft today sorting through my surplus C7 stuff which I will shortly be advertising. In one of the boxes was the badge you are looking for. It had been in the loft for the last eight/nine years and, unsurprisingly (lol), dates from 1997. You are very welcome to have it.   

As these badges appear to be no longer available, Andrew's suggestion of 3D printing would seem to be good idea (although I don't know how one would successfully do the green & yellow paint or the chrome edging). I searched for 3D printing services locally without success, perhaps there are some in your area Gary?

Hi Tom, Yes you probably did spot me - I went for a short blat to Menai Bridge and back at between 5 & 5:30pm ish. Apologies that I didn't notice you waving, Beaumaris was very busy with people and traffic so I was keeping my eyes on the road. Crabbing from the pier is popular.

madmaninshed - Thank you for the comment - much appreciated. How old does it need to be for registration in France? (does this age also apply to all countries in the EU?). 

Hi Andrew,

It does get used (ln the summer when dry) but not as often as it should be - I have just returned from a short blat but the roads here are very busy with tourists atm. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the comments.

During 2011/12 the car was refurbished at a cost of approx. £7,000 which mainly related to new side skins fitted by Arch (to rectify imperfections following the 2002 conversion from flared to cycle wings). In addition carbon fibre wings (4) were fitted and a complete respray was carried out by Kenrick Motors of Llangollen.  Photographs of the refurbishment are available.

Comprehensive service/history file covering 23 years from the original purchase invoice throughout to the present date. During the last 14 years of current ownership servicing has been carried out by Kenrick Motors. 

The condition can be seen from the photographs and is as good underneath as on top with no evidence of rust anywhere. Further photographs to confirm the condition are available. 

Price: £19,000

Hi Jonathan

I have messaged you.

David

The 2 rear wings are in good structural condition but have a few cosmetic blemishes and holes where the rear lights were.

The 2 front cycle wings have stress cracks in them and require repair. They have been drilled for the wing stay fixings.

All 4 wings were supplied by CC in 2002 and described as clear gel and have been sprayed in 40th Anniversary ruby red metallic.

I don't want anything for them but anyone who wants them would need to collect them (from Anglesey!). However it is the L7C track day on Friday (13 Oct)  followed by the sprint championship on Sat & Sun (14 & 15 Oct) at Anglesey Circuit. Unfortunately I doubt that I will be at either event but we could meet near the bridge(s) over the Menai Strait or at my home about 15 minutes away. 

Spotted today 6 August, twice!

First at 09:45 near Nantmor/Aberglaslyn Bridge on A498 near junction with A4085 heading towards Beddgelert - we were walking in same direction, heard you and turned to wave, thanks for the wave back.

Second at about 12:45 parked in lay-by on A498 near junction with A4086 (Llanberis Pass).

Caterham 7, RX12 *** spotted today (21 July) @ 08:45 heading NW into Caernarfon on A4085. Caught a brief glimpse of you so no time to acknowledge - we were in the tintop heading in the opposite direction.

And I also love the same VXE HPC (which I purchased from Mark Piper ten years ago and still own).

Hi Mark.

Orange C7 Reg: ** BRM westbound on A55 Expressway near Llanfairfechan at 16:50. You overtook us in our black Mitsubishi Shogun Pinin - gave you a couple of flashes as you passed.

Whatever it was it sounded good!

This morning 10:30 A4086 eastbound at Capel Curig. Three C7s in convoy. We were in 40th anniversary HPC going the other way. Thanks for the waves. Presume that you,like us, were held up by the Snowman Triathlon.

This morning 09:20 heading towards Betws-y-Coed on A5 westbound passing Conwy Falls Cafe. Red C7, two up, helmets, aeroscreen. Making good progress, sounded good. We were parked on CFC carpark. 

Hi Rich

I have sent you a BM re stoneguards.

Thanks
