Wanted: California Registered Caterham

[rickharris44]

I'm interested in purchasing a California registered Caterham. Virtually any year and model are acceptable as long as the vehicle is registered and in good to excellent condition.

Best of luck, although you may find that potential cars are in good to weird condition as they tend to be quite customized as the years go by.

If you are willing to try out not Caterham Sevens you should look at Martin Kellers Locost: http://usa7s.com/vb/showthread.php?t=3944

Thank you

Thanks very much. I'm only interested in a genuine Lotus or Caterham. If you hear of any for sale, please let me know.

Rick,

Where in CA are you located?

Are you looking for a track car a street/touring car or something else?

Have you seen the Buyers post? Lots of good info there.

If you are near San Diego county a few of us would be willing to show you our cars so that you might have a better idea of what sort of things you may want, or not want, on a 7. Let me know if you are interested. Brad

Thanks, Tom. I'm looking for a street car -- probably a Caterham R300 or R400 SV. I wasn't aware of the Buyers post but will check it out. Many thanks for your help.

Hi Rick,

I'm in Santa Cruz - you're welcome to come down here if you want to check out my car. I also have to go into the office (San Mateo) at least once a week and could meet you there. Send me a PM if you want to meet up.

There are also a number of Caterham owners on the peninsula (speak up guys!). One of the best things to do is to visit a trackday - there's one coming up at Buttonwillow which will be well attended. And a little further away is the Monterey Historics - which will also have quite a few sevens in attendance.

Thanks, Tom. Unfortunately, I can't make either event. But I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know if/when you hear of anyone interested in parting with his/her Caterham. My preference if for a R300 or R400 SV but I'm willing to consider anything in really good condition. I'd prefer a CA registered car because, as I understand it, I'd have to wait to register under SB 100 until Jan 3, 2011.

You might want to place an ad in the GGLC newsletter (http://gglotus.org/). We did have a Super 7 listed for several months last year but it seems to have disappeared now.
