Caterham Super 7 Sprint “Classic SE” – Immaculate condition.  This is a fully street legal (licensed and titled in Utah), all-weather Caterham with all street gear – full top, side doors with windows, windshield wipers, aircraft-type electric defrosting windshield and cabin heater.  It also includes a bolt-on rear spare tire carrier and spare (wheel identical to the others.)  It is the “Caterham Classic SE” model with 1600 Ford (Kent engine) with DCOE40 Webers and 4-speed transmission and weighs approximately 1100 pounds.  The differential is an Ital unit with 1/4 ” plate reinforcement on the housing SE as used on the Caterham Challenge Series race cars. Fully adjustable gas Spax shocks.   It includes custom-fabricated aluminum doors and side screens (not to be confused with the factory soft doors and full windows, also included).  These aluminum doors attach to the factory hinges and make the car a lot more civil for highway use as they reduce the tremendous buffeting a normal doorless 7 produces.  As with the factory doors they are readily removable.   The Cibie headlights and turn signals  have been relocated for better aerodynamics and an updated appearance.  The headlight relocation is a custom bolt-on application and was done without destroying any of the factory parts so the headlights can be relocated to the original position quite easily if you prefer the classic Lotus 7 look.  The car has been driven about 12,000 miles since new (mostly highway use), has never been damaged and everything works perfectly.  It has always been stored in a dry garage, under a car cover.  It is ready and can be driven across the country If the buyer wants to fly in and drive it home.  However, other arrangements would have to be made for the extra set of tires and Superlite wheels (identical to those shown in the photos except they are Michelin street tires.   The tires shown on the car are Toyo R888.  The interior includes the adjustable leather Caterham bucket seat option (includes headrests) with full carpeting throughout. Extremely comfortable. Graphics (number spots and other stickers (which were applied for car shows only) are all removable vinyl.  This Caterham is a fantastically fun street driver and the perfect car for track days.  The Caterham factory  Manual and Assembly Guide is also included along with all receipts.  The car is being offered at $25,000.  New Caterham kits are priced from $45,000 to $90,000   Buyer will provide own transportation of vehicle which will be released upon receipt of full purchase price in cash.  Please call for more details.  Ron Christensen – 801-706-1054 (cell – voice only please) or 801-467-6370 (home)

New Lotus owners ditch ambitious five-year plan

Thu, 26 Jul 2012

This didn't take long. The new overlords at Lotus have reportedly scrapped the company's five-year plan. DRB-Hicom ditched the turnaround strategy, penned by ousted CEO Danny Bahar, because it believes the market viewed the plan as overly ambitious.
The new product plan will slim the number of new model lines from five to three, and Lotus will likely slash the number planned consultants in favor of relying more heavily on in-house talent. According to The Star, the move should help expedite product development and save cash at the same time.
Even so, nothing is written in stone as of yet. DRB-Hicom says the new plan will take up to a year to finalize. The company has dumped around $242 million into Lotus so far this year, and the struggling automaker may require another $121 million by 2013. Lotus all but stopped production earlier this year during a loan freeze, but the lights came back on in April. The company now produces around 44 vehicles per week.

Race Recap: 2013 Japanese Grand Prix flips several scripts [spoilers]

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

Japan's Suzuka circuit is a great track that all the drivers love, but it doesn't usually provide the most thrilling, head-to-head racing. Where it does excel, however, is with surprises and "What just happened there?!" moments, and this year it was no different.
It started with Mark Webber in his Infiniti Red Bull Racing out-qualifying his teammate Sebastian Vettel for the first time this year. They were followed closely by Lewis Hamilton in the first Mercedes-AMG Petronas, the still-solid Romain Grosjean again outdoing teammate Kimi Räikkönen, Felipe Massa racing for another seat in Formula One and putting his Ferrari in fifth, then Nico Rosberg in the second Mercedes, Nico Hülkenberg in the first Sauber, Fernando Alonso in the second Ferrari, and Räikkönen continuing to do himself no favors by qualifying tenth.
For the second year in a row, the lights going out was the cue to start the first corner action...

Lotus recalls 2008-2011 Elise, Exige and 2011 Evora over fire fear

Mon, 07 Jul 2014

Lotus is recalling 860 vehicles after discovering that the oil cooler hose could detach from its fitting. Should the hose separate, it could spray oil on one of the lightweight car's tires, giving new meaning to the phrase "sudden loss of grip." The other case is, believe or not, more dire, as the spraying oil could hit the engine and ignite. Of course, neither situation is desirable, hence the recall.
The vast majority of the affected vehicles (780 of the 860) are the 2008 to 2011 Elise and Exige, built between November 2007 and July 2011. Another 80 Evora S coupes from 2011, manufactured between September 2010 and September 2011, are also included in the recall.
All repairs will, naturally, be completed free of charge. In the Elise/Exige's case, that means replacing the hose fittings, while the affected Evoras will get a new hose assembly.
