Please, could someone tell, where should I look for new (or used in good order) yellow nose cone for 1989 De Dion. Other than Caterham itself?

Found one seller from ebay who couldn't tell if

it was correct for -89.

The one on e-bay looks like a cheap copy. I don't know the sellers, but I 'd be concerned if they are making pattern parts and don't know what they'll fit.

Try the Lotus7Club website here. You can look in "For Sale" or use the "Search" function at the top of the page. You can't reply to a topic if not a member, but you can pm anyone by clicking on the envelope at the top of every post.

The nose cone for any 1989 Seven would probably be suitable. The only changes made to the front end around that time would have been the additional anti-roll bar which became an extra item to the top-link (older Sevens and Classics retained the dual purpose top-link/anti-roll bar). My 1996 Classic has the older set-up.

mail me thru here and I'll put you in touch with someone that I think may have what you're looking for (and it won't be expensive)

I have a spare nose cone off my 1998 superlight R car. It's in 'caterham yellow' and I think it will fit.

There is a small amount of crazing on a couple of places, but this isn't noticable until you're very close. PM me if you'd like further info?
