I'm offering for sale my delightful 1984 Caterham Super Seven Sprint. I bought it with just over 2000 miles on it and have doubled that in the last year. I'm selling this car to fund my Lotus Elan S-2 that is in bits. Otherwise I'd never sell it.
                 I've always loved early Lotus Sevens with they're delicate simplicity and while I like the newer Caterhams I have to admit that they are just too far removed from the original concept. Big seats, huge roll bars and 200 HP+ just isn't my thing. Not on the street anyways.
             Which is what attracted me to this car. It's very much like an old Lotus Seven ; bench seat, solid axle, rear drum brakes,big front wings, maybe 120 HP. Yet it's really like a new old Lotus , just 4200 miles. Nothing is worn out, rusted or beat to hell. Actually the engine is just broken in. When I bought the car I replaced all perishables, mainly hoses and changed all the fluids ( synthetic in the trans. and diff. ). Even the tires are the 5 original Goodyear Grand Prix ( made in England no less ). I know what your thinking about they're age, but they look great, I can't find any defects and Sevens only run 18psi. The car is French Blue and the paint is nice with small nicks and chips hear and there. There is a small area on the bonnet that has been repaired, but it's hardly noticeable. The interior is great, the only thing I notice is all the rocker switches are slightly faded ( they are cheap and available in England ).
                           The car comes with all it's weather equipment; wind wings, side curtains, top, full and half tonneaus. Tool kit and jack. Optional heater ( very warm ). I also have every piece of paperwork from the original owner that I bought it from It spent most of it's life in Reno. Correspondence with Caterham, Order slips, Options ordered, the boat it was shipped on, etc., etc. It's a 4 speed car with 4th being pretty tall ( 2700 rpm at 60mph I think ), it's an Escort Sport box. The engine is a gem, pulls great, not fussy at all, great oil pressure and runs cool even in traffic. The exhaust is unusual in that it exits at the rear of the car rather than the side, but that's the way it came. The brakes are perfect and as you would imagine it handles superb. Adjustable Spax all round.
                   It's a treat to drive and you could drive it anywhere, the car needs nothing.
          Buyer is responsible for Shipping. I will help any way I can.
                        Please call if you have any questions or if you want to come and have a look and test drive. . Paul 360-632-1016

Lotus Exige S tears the roof off

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Some things just don't make sense. But then we're not sure they really have to. Imagine Porsche took the Cayman, which is essentially the coupe version of the Boxster, and turned it into a convertible. Wouldn't make much sense, would it? Well that's essentially what Lotus did with the creation of the Exige S Roadster.
The Exige, you see, was already the fixed-roof version of the Elise. So what was the point in turning it back into a roadster? That's what our friends at XCar tried to ascertain in the video below. We could tell you what conclusion they arrived at, but that would spoil all the fun. So we'll just let you enjoy the seven-minute clip and see for yourself. Just remember: it doesn't have to make sense. It just has to be a Lotus.

Lotus and Aston Martin to hook up?

Tue, 30 Oct 2012

This has been a tumultuous year for Lotus - to say the least - from the company being sold off back in January to its CEO Dany Bahar being fired in June to its questionable financial status and rumors of the British automaker being sold off to another automaker. First, we heard that Volkswagen was interested in acquiring Lotus and parent company Proton, a rumor that was later dismissed. Now Automobile is reporting that fellow Brit Aston Martin could be in the market to work with or possibly even merge with Lotus.
While this is pure speculation at this point, such a venture could prove to be beneficial for both independent companies. That's because with Lotus focused on lightweight, relatively affordable sports cars and Aston Martin producing high-end performance cars, there is virtually no product overlap between the companies. The article suggests that a person or company wanting to merge these two automakers would have to raise between $1.1 billion and $1.6 billion in order to make a go of it, however.
We're not sure what to think of this latest rumor, but anything that can help get the struggling brand back to health at least has our interest.

Former CEO Bahar files $10.6M suit against Lotus

Mon, 27 Aug 2012

File this one under "not surprising in the least." Fired Lotus CEO Dany Bahar is reportedly suing his former employers for some $10.6 million, claiming that the automaker and its Malaysian owner, DRB, broke the law when they dismissed him. According to a report by Bloomberg Businessweek, DRB and Lotus will defend themselves in court rather than settling, including filing a countersuit against the former top executive.
Bahar, 40, was canned on June 7, about two weeks after Lotus suspended him pending an investigation into his conduct. The report cites a Kuala Lumpur stock exchange filing as its source of the information; the filing also indicates that DRB has decided against selling Lotus, despite continuing losses.
