Ozzy Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Is that really worth that sort of money? I must be out of touch!Good luck with it anyway, nice little bonus if you get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revilla Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Yeah I think I must have slipped into a different reality too - you could buy a decent Seven for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Piper Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I presume that includes the Caterham too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C7GCS Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I 'might' give £12k for it : if there was an 'S' at the end and not an 'R', but no, it does seem a bit keen, Nice plate though at the right price. and if someone offered half that for it - I'd grab the cash and run. The trouble (with an S or an R) is it would have to go on a pre-73 car to be 'right' (ie on a Lotus 7) and that is not an option as its too modern, and would have to be LOT7H or earlier to put it on a genuine Lotus7 (depending on the year of the Lotus 7 of course). Good luck though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathantennantbtinternet Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I found that dealers do offer sky high valuations but never achieve the price being asked for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul jacobs Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Sorry, did I miss something? What year is it and is it a Lotus or a Caterham? A little more information and history wouldn't go amiss either, it might also help you to actually find a buyer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyuk Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 i TOTALLY agreethe valuation was by club lotus in regard to the LOW mileage of 6000,mainly due to me working on my other cars. Realistic 17,000 = 15,000 club prices -sell the car to a dealer he`ll want to sell at 19,000/20,000expected 0-100 same as BDR 10seconds 100-0 3seconds (4 pot calipers)remote is excellent Wooler, am traditionalist LOTUS TC 1700 is my preference.higgyuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul jacobs Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Mmm, I've been around Caterham and Lotus Sevens since I bought my first Lotus in 1986, and I still can't make out exactly what you are trying to sell Higgy. Is it a S3 Lotus, or an early Caterham or a BDA HPC or what? Do I take it that English isn't your first language?Do you want to try and give us some meaningful information, although, I suspect that you may have blown your chance of selling it on here, maybe try Pistonheads or chance it on Ebay.I'd be interested to hear about your other cars, anything interesting?

paul jacobs Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Great, thank you for the reply.Are we to assume it is a 1983 1600 X/F live axle Seven, built from a kit of new parts, supplied by Caterham Cars when they were on the hill?Does it have a single down draught carb or twin 40 Webers? How about the seating, I assume it is the default bench backrest with individual seat squabs? How about wheels and tyres, full weather equipment, tonneau, colour or is it polished Ali. If so what colour is the fibreglass. How many miles have you covered, have you ever sold a car privately before?With some help, I will be less confused.is the basis of the valuation trait you, condition or historic provenance?Getting there.Paul.
