I am selling my unassembled 2002 de Dion Caterham 7 with SB 100 reg.
Most of you know I got the slightly bent chass from Rod
Swanson. It is now restored with a short front and side panels from Arch.
The engine is a 2.0 Zetec from Autocourse, ported and
cams by Esslinger. Very similar to Brads motor. I had the cams
checked at Schneider, 294 deg .4 lift so equivalent to
Kent 12's. I guess about 200 + hp with carbs. Raceline sump, RMSCI
bell housing, T- 9 checked by my local trans guy.
I have the wide track front sus for it also.
I have most of the parts, I can email a complete list of what
is included and what is missing and pictures, see list below.
Asking $ 20,500 will post on ebay at noon today.
I would prefer to sell it in CA. I have been autoxing my FMod Solo Vee
and have another bent 7 that I am building. Soo I would like this car
to go to a good home.
Cheers Rod

ps any of you that would like to be beaten by a VW are welcome to come
to the next autox, looser buys the burgers.
Below is the text from the ebay add
Caterham 7 S3 Unassembled
California SB - 100 registration
reg as 1962 Lotus 7 no smog
wide track front suspension
de Dion rear suspension
lowered floor for tall driver
quick release steering column
Esslinger Zetec 200 hp
Vernier cam gears
Fidanza ally flywheel
Stock T - 9 5 spd
Raceline sump
many new parts
Price $ 20,500
Most of the parts to complete this car are included. See below
I believe this list to be mostly complete but the buyer will satisfy her / himself
with the accuracy of the list. I estimate $ 6,500 should complete the
car and ? hours. I was building it for myself but now have another project.
The chassis was damaged in the front right ( pass ) corner.
It has been repaired by a professional
race / sand car builder / fabricator. It was checked for
level and length and is within 1 / 16 of spec. The side panels
are new as is the bonnet and scuttle. Most of the used parts are
near new , to very good condition.
The engine is an Autocourse Ford 2.0 Zetec motor
with cams a head that have been modified for a race series
by Esslinger Engineering. 10.5 - 1 compression ratio, the intake is seriously ported and it
has Esslinger cams, about 294 deg duration, it will idle.
A similar car - engine with efi and throttle bodies but is putting
out about 210 at the flywheel. I estimate about 200 hp at the flywheel with 2 x 45 mm webers.
Note. this will be a seriously fast car, under hard acceleration
when the motor comes on the cam it will spin street tires
in all gears, I have driven the above mentioned car at competition events so I have first hand knowledge.
In other words do not punch the throttle at any time on any public road. It will go sideways.
If you are not an experienced driver of performance cars either do not buy it or treat it
with a great deal of respect.
If the purchaser is in the San DIego area I will help sort the car at the SDR-SCCA autocross events.
Please contact me with any questions.
Buyer to pick up in person. The chass will fit in a small pickup weighs about 150 lbs
Cheers
