Doug phillips Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 F**K ME Thats got to be one of the best Se7ens that I have seen 😳, and with a BDR as well. Why the hell are you selling it , and (if you dont mind ) at that price as well. If only I had the room for another Se7en in my life ☹️. Best of luck with the sale ( I should think that it would not hang around at that price) Doug, Su77on Se7ens See our web site here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markc Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Stunning car - was this Robert F's car - weybridge person ??? Markc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Piercy Posted September 30, 2004 Author Share Posted September 30, 2004 Thanks for the kind words guys!.....Must admit, I have questioned myself for putting it up for sale? Sure I'm going to regret it! *confused* Mark, you're right, it was Robert's car. I've had it just over two years. It's such an unusual 7, I fell for it as soon as I clapped eyes on her. James Whiting made an absolutely stunning job of the car and Robert didn't hold back on acheiving exactly what he wanted.....Fair play to them both! Polishing hasn't been a big problem. In the two years of ownership, I've done the job twice. Mother's Mag used with a good quaility cloth and the 'Bling' lasts all year!

olive bdr Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 hello everybody, simon, your car seems to be really impressive !!! could you tell me what are the spec of your injection please ? Thanks Olive Bdr, a french bdr owner with a really bad accent... memphisbel@ifrance.com Edited by - olive bdr on 1 Oct 2004 18:57:22 Edited by - olive bdr on 1 Oct 2004 18:58:55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Piercy Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 Hi, The engine is standard 1700 spec' and the Weber Alpha system is standard too with dark green injectors. I've just dug out some info from the file. The system was set up on a rolling road and delivered 147 bhp at the wheels at 7000 rpm. Torque = 122 lbft at 5500 rpm. according to the info from weber, this compares with 127 bhp at the wheels at 7000 rpm and 109 lbft at 5300 rpm when fitted with 45 DCOE's. With all these compliments, I really am wondering if I should let her go???? 😬 Cheers, Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olive bdr Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 You astonish me Simon. The Bdr/Bda spec on 1700cc and 45Dcoe are beneath 170/180 hp. The 1600 Bda/bdr with 40dcoe -> 140/150 cv seen on BDA cosworth book. I thank that the injection spec + 1700cc would be 180-190 hp 🤔 memphisbel@ifrance.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul McKenzie Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Olive, Caterham figures were over -oeufed K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrelevant Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 olive bdr: Simon's power is measured at the wheels. Normally power figures are quoted at the crank which is far more accurate. However, 147bhp at the wheels is very good. I'm no expert, but I would have thought 147rwhp was around 180bhp at the crank, maybe more. Accumulating bits for the Super-Busa. . . Anyone got a spare 3.14 diff??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olive bdr Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 i understand AdamHay, you 're right. The power was taken on wheel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
