gkronberg Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 🤔 I am looking for a good 7 to bring to OZ. we have a 15 year import restriction, that allows us to bring in cars over 15years old without all the hassles of our very strict compliance regs. ( ie they dont like indicators under the head lights, we must have 3 wiper blades, not 2 etc etc etc ) I am interested in any 1989 or less 7's . Prefer with clam shells. I dont know when K series came in, but if it was 1989, then that would be good, 2nd choice Opel/Vauxhall, 3rd choice BDA, 4 th choice Kent. Did Dion come in around 1989 ??? I will look at all conditions, from basket case to show winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheds Moderator Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Wasting your time looking for a pre 89 k. 2L Vx, I think so, maybe on an 89. BDA 3rd choice! Ha ha ha ha, hope you have deep pockets if you want one of those. Kent - these are for nowt and plentiful, good luck. At this age they are mostly clams and AFAIK DeDion came in around 1986. Choose from 6k UKP upwards depending on condition/spec, happy motoring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Procter Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 There's one here advertised by our friend in France. If you trawl through all his posts (click on Steve's SPOTTED) I think you'll find it has clamshell wings. It has been advertised many times on here but is in France which presents a problem to most UK buyers. However I don't imagine it will make much difference to you in Australia where it comes from! You should be able to get it for a song. You'll see Clare has been in contact but I don't know if it came to anything. Good luck! Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Phillips Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I have a friend's 1989 Super Sprint at home [uK] that is likely to be for sale shortly. He is based in Switzerland but this is a UK car currently on SORN. It is very high spec and has been used extensively both on the road and for racing. It has an all steel dry-sumped 1800cc Phil Parker race engine reputed to be over 190bhp on 48s. It has had a lot of new parts over the last three years and is in very clean condition. Its on cycle wings, has full weather gear and I am just fitting a 5 speed Quaiffe H/duty box in it. Let me know if this might be of interest and I can email you some more details.

gkronberg Posted October 16, 2004 Author Share Posted October 16, 2004 Yeah , came across that nice BDR before, 14,000 firm , and he was unsure about selling, had another buyer for it, and I had to do the deal real quick, then all of a sudden its on Blatchat, ebay, everywhere . I am a long way away, and its hard to determine what the owner is like or what do they really want, being told one story, then the car is on Hard sell..... anyway it is everything I want , wheels, colour, dion , and BDR ..... Just maybe ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth G-F Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Hi, I'm in the same boat. Only difference is that here, winter is coming in while your summer is coming in. So I'm not in a big hury to buy. My target date is to have the car by may 2005. So I'm trying to find as much nice Caterhams for sale as possible. Then maybe a short trip to England in april/may to check the selected cars and bring it back home. I too like the BDR engine but that yellow one will probably be sold by the time I have my plane ticket ready. ☹️ Edited by - Darth G-F on 16 Oct 2004 19:19:23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doclip Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Still for sale guys if you want it ,but im absolutely firm on price as before The car i wanted has unfortunataly fallen thru now , so im not that enthusiastic about selling anymore at a knock down price-ie if i dont get a decent price,then ill upgrade over the winter and spend some more money on it to get it to decent track spec I have a couple of guys from the ebay auction who are coming for a look at it over the next week ,so well see what the wind blows Realsitically the chance of buying a car from that distance is rather remote Regards,Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doclip Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 you should contact paul clugston from UK Sports Cars [sales@uksportscars.com] who is a great bloke who sold me the Cosie -he deos a lot of exporting of cars all round the world and will source you anything you fancy -hes an honest injun and wont be beaten on price and wont sell you a lemon and will sort out all the crating and paperwork etc Regards,Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 My race car is road registered & UK SVA tested & for sale! Using a loophole in the regulations it legally uses a 1968 registration (old 'F') plate. Log book says 'Rebuilt - made from parts' & then 'SVA cert issued 26/03/1999 emissions - visual test only'. Everything on this car is new (or was in 1999) - it may well get around the problem. See the ad - or I can send some details if required. Car could quite easily be converted back to road spec if required. 200bhp injected Vauxhall, Dog Box etc etc....far better than an old xflow! Simon.
