Caterham Harrods

[anotherjohnv]

They all had stack dashes (one bit of mine that I haven't changed!) ..and LSD's
I left the speaker holes in the back bulkhead because it's handy for getting stuff out of the boot :-)

Does it still have shed door coach bolts holding the bonnet springy catch things on?

[battered]

I thought the shed door coach bolts had been upgraded to some top quality shed door rivets in recent years?

Some of my 7 had some top quality self tappers, occasionally bodged with wood screws. Having seen some of the factory "engineering" I don't think that's the worst sin out there.

[mickrick]

I think they could do better, considering what they are charging for them.
Something like this for instance?

Anyone know what paint code this is?

[CanAm]

No idea, but don't you think it would look good if all the brightwork were brass plated?

[battered]

I think it would look like a tart's windowbox, but since the thing does anyway and this is the appeal for the intended customer, then I think that you are right and that they are missing a trick.

A Caterham 7 is a bloody awful vehicle to punt around London. You cook your feet, it's badly ventilated apart from the obvious, and on wet days it's a horror.

[Crossfit_Pete]

Looks cool though.

Which seems to be the USP for this particular model so I hope that they sell dozens to the oil barons' sons who come to London for the summer and need something to drive between "exclusive" bars with "hostess" service.

Not a euphemism I have previously encountered.

Exactly, 👍

Yes they are and no they didn't. And I think this chap is just pointing out how he's modified his anniversary.

Fair point!

I don't even recall them having a stack dash either, but that's mostly because I can't remember things from last year let along 10 years ago!

Most 7's are unique its hard to find two the same and if you look down these pictures http://www.mycaterham.com/129616/56787.html you will see a black seven with Gold plated lights window frame etc

Customers have always been able to customise their cars or is this going to be a cost option now under a 'signature' option.. I don't think I would buy a Harrods version but then again if thats what Caterham want to do and makes them more sales why not...
