! My own "bucket list" car is a Caterham Seven, much like the Manx they're a cool little ride with little practical use.

Have you read the book  Roadster by Chris Goodrich?

Pretty kewl looking little dune buggy.  My Father in-law and bother in-law were Shriners in the motor core and had a couple.  Nice build.

Thanks!

I haven't yet, but will check it out. I see there are a few inexpensive copies available online.

If you can weld and want to save a ton of money, you can build a clone of the Seven working from this book...or one of the book's clones.  

I had a Lotus factory-built Seven for years as a daily driver. Purchased it in England when Caterham Car Sales was a used car lot down the road from Lotus, and long before Caterham started building their own version.

Stupidest thing I ever did was sell it.

I think we all have one of those. Even with all the work it needed, I still second-guess getting rid of my '69 Chevy.
