andy couchman Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 ...and I'm sure the editor of the club's Low Flying magazine would love to have the story about the car to run in a future issue. Certainly, many of us would like to read it! It does look amazing Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miura Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Andy, I was coming back on Blatchat to write just that: Sugino, you can't sell the car until you've told the story for LowFlying! I am ( noise of a Frenchman looking for the proper english term) flabbergasted 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finmac Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Sugino Regarding the polishing - staying in Arizona not much need for that! Out of interest, Where about in Arizona are you based? I have relatives and friends in Pheonix and have holiday'd out there before, loved it! All the best witb the sale....

sugino Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 I am in Mesa (Phoenix area). The lack of moisture results in low maintenance fo polish, but very bright due to abundance of sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I see the price is creeping up. Its still well short of what I would value it at It would look super in Caterhams showroom. Edited by - Graham Perry on 31 Mar 2006 20:55:09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David M Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Sugino An amazing example stunned I am, I hope this car comes to the UK so that we can all get a closer look at it...... Rear suspension is in CSR territory, I am still totally taken aback by this car...... For those that know Anthony... please don't let him see it, he'll only end up starting his car from scratch again.... David GF04RCE.... every day is a Caterham day!!!! He heee!!... pictures here. Problem is every day seems to be a GT4 day too...!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budjuggler Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 10 now 😬 and at $50k not yet at reserve C7 GON - There is a very fine line between 'hobby' and 'mental illness' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Cragg Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Doesn't look like this car will be coming to the UK ☹️ - at least not directly. All the recent bidders are USA based. Awesome car - good luck Sugino hope it fetches what you are looking for. Steve Superlight #63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.Mupferit Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Matthew, have you no soul man 🤔 This car is just stunning with such meticulous attention to detail. It appears to have been built for no other reason than he wanted to do it and he could......................where's the problem with that 🤔 Given the means I would love to have done something similar.

sugino Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 I appreciate all the comments, positive and negative. Brent, you understand why I built the car ... thanks you. I set the reserve unreachable, because i wanted to be able to choose who i sold the car to. The auction price does not reflect maximum bid unless it exceeds the reserve. I feel I have found a buyer who i think appreciates what I have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Sugino, Its such a wonderful car that it would be worth showing a few magazines and it would then probably prove easier to sell as it has been publically featured and would have more folks out there that know about it.
