Tonycaterham Posted April 17, 2002 Author Share Posted April 17, 2002 Matthew, I wish you could convey the world of your ability to recognise an excellent 7 at a very reasonable price. If someone actually sees it, I am sure they would buy. I am looking for a more track orientated car to have some FUN with, but would not no adfford to pursue, until I have sold my own car.

matthewwatkiss Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 If it is as good as the spec sheet reads it is beyond comprension that it is not sold. I have Zetec engined 7 and if I could bare to part with it woudl snap yours up. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonycaterham Posted April 18, 2002 Author Share Posted April 18, 2002 Matthew Honestly, it is as good as the spec sheets. Never been out in the rain, never even got dirty!!! Maybe I should keep it, change to a ford axle with LSD, put in some nice cams, modify the head and loose a bit of weight (both me and the car). Trouble is it would seem that if your 7 has a live axle regardless of spec it is worth no more than £10k which seems odd as a lot of cars just do track days so the live vs de-dion arguement is less of an issue.

matthewwatkiss Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 I would keep it, I was going to sell mine recently as I am buying a house. The idea of parting with it became unbearable so I now have a bigger mortgage. If you dont do track days you will have noticed that you dont often get over taken on the road. So spend the extra money a new car would cost on what sounds like a perfect 7. I would love to see the car, are you going to Stonleigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
