Cracking looking car.

I loved my 7...enormous fun. Remember driving over to Switzerland many years ago....caused a stir where ever i went.

Congratulations, JB.

It occurs to me that a Seven makes a Europa look like an entirely practical daily driver.   8)

Yes, the S4 sevens were way better than the ones that came before it, however, mine is a 1700cc crossflow engine which is original. The TC engine was an option at the time.

I am 6 foot 5, and I had to get a S4 Seven because I cannot fit in the earlier ones.

Finally the car was delivered this morning… right before I had to dash off to Toronto :-(

Found time to carefully clean the serial number plate and, lo and behold, there is a faint and crooked “L” in front.   Next we checked with Arch Motors and they have no record of having supplied a replacement chassis — they keep careful records to prevent clones.  Also, they said that in the early days all the Caterham reinforcements were available as a kit to upgrade earlier chassises.  More checking to do when I get home but things are looking even better!
