John Vine Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 If they're original fit, maybe the best thing would be to contact CC's archivist (Martin.Phipps@caterham.com) and ask him if he has any info on the car, and particularly product "IT63" from the invoice image.Alternatively, you could ask Oxted Trimming, assuming the seats were one of their products.JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Lowe Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 The same as these i think, Oxteds finest IMO but then I would say that as I have a pair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Boy Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Yes these are what as referred to, I think, as the original S Type seats. I have them too. Great seats as the three lower pads on the back of the seat are adjustable so you can move them to suit your lumbar preference. They were an upgrade option in the early nineties before Caterham moved to the more commonly known S Type seats that are still fitted today.I'd be amazed if you could buy them new today but maybe put a wanted ad on the forum - perhaps someone has switched to tillets and have these surplus to needs??

Sooty Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 These look remarkably similar to Intatrims Voyager. The acid test is whether your seats have fibreglass or metal frame. Oxted use steel tube produced at Tubeform in Wolverhampton but Intatrim use fibreglass. Cover style is infinitely variable so you need to look at the frame to determine http://www.intatrim.co.uk/voyager.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Lowe Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I have a pair that I'm not using and could be tempted to sell, they are the Oxted steel frame type but I am told they are worth top money . If your interested message me with your email address and I will send you lots of pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Munky Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Holy moly! That car sold for $29k!!!Anyone wanting to start up in business with me... My car works out to be $16k, $1k to get to the shipper in Southampton, $3k for tax and title and Atlantic crossing, then another $1k to ship from Baltimore to MN. (I’m hoping to drive mine).Only joking about the business (sort of) but I did think if I bought a rhd 7 I would have to own it until the end of time (or have to give it away)!

auyt Posted September 28, 2019 Author Share Posted September 28, 2019 Great price, very nice spec. That's top money for an early ish 7 but remember its getting very difficult in the US to register cars like the 7 and the best bit its an easy car to look after. every part is available.Here is Aus Classic Caterham's have been slowly going up in price. I bought a very tired, dead engine (LOTUS Twin Cam) 85 4 speed, Live axle car 2 years ago for 13,200 UKP, and spent double what I bought it for sorting it and I will get most of it back. that's if I ever sell it.We also get cars from Japan with the BDR's in them and they fetch good money.New 7 here are prohibitive a RHD (euro 5 spec) 270 is 45,000 UKP as for top spec 485, 66,000 UKP it has, wait for it, a luxury car tax as part of the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
