My 7's Journey
It started out as an Academy car (2004), from the research I've done I gather it only completed 4 races and did approx 1500 miles in it's first 8 years (garaged with little/no use after racing).
From 2012 to 2016 it's appearance changed a little. It again covered approx 1500 miles, it was garaged and never driven in the rain.
I bought it in early September as a 40th present to myself. It was the first I'd seen, but was obviously a very well looked after car.
First I made sure it had a clean bill of health and would be mechanically sound, so took a trip to the very nice team at www.sevensandclassics.com
- full service, Cam Belt, pedals adjusted and for my own comfort Caterham Leather seats replaced the Tillets.
I've made some cosmetic changes, 5.75 lights, clear indicators & repeaters and I fitted an Aero filler cap.
Other than the above I have it booked in with DVA for hotter cams, verniers and modified TB. I'm replacing the ECU with a Kmaps tuned item, so should be 140bhp from 120bhp which will be more than adequate for now.
I'm thoroughly enjoying ownership and the driving experience and who said they weren't practical..... (can't believe I didn't get spotted).
More to follow......
