jradley Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Given the extent of the damage I'm not convinced it's worth the opening bid price. It will be interesting to see if it sells though. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terryp Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 How would it be registered as a Lotus? Do you think it would need a new chassis/ I've asked to see if there is a BIN price Terry Lotus Elan +2 S130/4 Hopefully Seven Soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickbowyer Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 When I searched DVLA Vehicle enquiry, no Caterham was found with that registration but found it under Lotus vehicle make. Dick Superlight SV Duratec R400 Arch Inside 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisHawkins Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 My bet would be that it needs a new chassis or heavy repairs, one rear wheel is flush with the arch the other is inside. Chris  K93 AMJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryp Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Oh so its a very very short cockpit I think it will still make in excess of £5K Terry Lotus Elan +2 S130/4 Hopefully Seven Soon!  Edited by - terryp on 22 Mar 2010 20:22:49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I reply to every thread Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Madness - spend £5K on that and it'd be worth £7K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenF Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Surely this would be worth considering for someone wanting to use it in say France, where I believe older 7s are easier to register? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonboylaw Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Looks like it has a twin Cam installed so there is the fair chunk of the opening price. The rear end damage and axle dislocation could just be a neckered aframe and rear link, but it will need a strip, jig and repannel at the rear, so around £3k of work, but needs a good look over.   Jonathan My Flickr  ----------------------------------- The rebuild has started :) 92 Supersprint, Ford LSD LA, RK AX Crossflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alextangent Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Looks like it's been run without any filters though; I wouldn't buy on the basis of the engine as it might be a bit rough inside... and what's with the horrible carb linkage & that HUGE hole in the bonnet?  Alex McDonald Loud, louder, loudest... Edited by - alextangent on 25 Mar 2010 15:51:02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
