Ive been watching the classifieds section on here for a couple of months now and 1 or 2 things have become quite apparent.
1. No one north of birmingham owns a C7 OR
2.Owners north of birmingham are so happy with it they never want to sell OR
3.Everyone south of birmingham is so unhappy with they car they want to sell OR
4.The credit crunch has landed in the south OR
5.The southern boys have bottled out on the power!

Take a look 95% of those for sale are in the southern counties, everyone of them is a 200 mile journey to view!

Bloke at work says he's got one - lives in southport. He's had it 18 years. I'd say 2)

The roads up here are so much better that Seven ownership makes (even) more sense than more Southerly climes. No intention of selling mine, so (2).

Hi twas this one-

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/493571.htm

Nothing specifically wrong with it as such & the seller is a nice chap, but its just not the car for me, engine is strong, no haggleing on price tho.

Engine wise, HPC are 2.0 Vauxhall red top 16vs on carbs 175bhp as stock (well some had injection & bit less power @ 165 so they say)
