Archie Procter Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 that and the colour IMO And that in the current economic climate you can buy a much newer car for only another grand or two... Which isn't to say it doesn't look like a good car, it does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Piper Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I don't think it was that much of a bargain. It's a buyer's market out there and there's pain out there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE GILBERT Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 True Mark except people don't buy Caterhams because they need them, only that they want them and that insulates them to a degree Now if you are lucky enough to own a 4x4 then there is REAL pain Pull up to a dealership in one and the salesmen will run for cover. They are £k's behind book if they can get anyone to bidd- or so I'm told Steve See My Caterham Fireblade Here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Day Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 If I was in the market for a new 7 I wouldn't buy one. Why? Because it would be more economic to buy this one & use it as a base for a more powerful car with all the toys. I reckon it would cost less than £15,000 to strip, refurb the chassis with new powdercoat, panels, fibreglass/carbon etc. The engine isn't upgradable but with a later VVC engine it would make a fine base for a 200BHP plus car. The only downside is that it is factory built, which lumbers it with a working catalyst for MOT time, however pre SVA reg amateur built cars must have a premium. This of course assumes the buyer wants a big project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
