Warren E Smith Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 £2500 for the upgrade seems perfectly reasonable to me. My first recently taken up hobby is cutting holes in my trouser pockets. My second recently taken up hobby is lighting candles using £50 notes. Stop it stop it, no take that stretcher away from me. geroff geroff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westy Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 its their money, let them spend as they wish.... Though how much power could you add to a VX for that sort of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren E Smith Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Yeah but dont forget about the HERITAGE you can buy loads of HERITAGE with £2500 A nice Triumph Herald you mean? If they all want heritage why don't more order the seven with a BMC A-series and 60 BHP Don't remember K's on TB's being around when Colin Chapman was....

CateringVan Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Its not about heritage, but about resale. If you spend £2500 having a Caterhum engine upgrade done then Caterhum will always buy/trade in the car at some later date. If you go to (say) Dave Andrews you can get much more power for much less money but Caterhum wont touch the car after that. Nevertheless, £2500 for 20bhp is spectacularly poor value for money and I doubt that many people will go for it. It would be better to put that money towards buying an SLR (190bhp) or R400 (200bhp) in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananaman Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 I've seen these adds in LF & what makes me is the way that c******m make out that this is a special limited supply offer GET IN QUICK B4 THERE ALL GONE . Its not about heritage, but about resale. I know what your saying Catering Van, but surely you don't buy a seven for it's resaleability, do you .

CateringVan Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 surely you don't buy a seven for it's resaleability. I bought mine because (like a lot of people) I've always wanted one. Having said that though they do seem to hold their value quite well once they have gone through the initial 'from new' depreciation period, providing they are kept in good order.

CateringVan Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 A se7en is for life not just for resale Definitely , regardless of who makes it. Unless of course you replace it with a better one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westfieldman Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Keep all the standard c******m bit, tune it put bigger engine in it and at resale time put it all back to standard and sell the tunned engine seperatly. You may even get more of your money back than you thought. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Don't remember K's on TB's being around when Colin Chapman was If I remember rightly Colin Chapman was famous for his inovation and development (remember the twin chassis) so I think he would be quite proud of how Westfield had developed the se7en concept to what it is today I really dont remember him sitting back on his laurels saying the lotus 49 had HERITAGE and we should stay like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
