2018 Caterham Seven 160S
Discussion
There has been no damage or repairs to the car
Attached are a couple of images of the split. Rather annoying really as I never use the roof. It just split spontaneously along the weld between the PVC window and the hood fabric. It has been rewelded, but split again when tensioned up. Its 4-5 inches long.
I was advised that the whole window could be cut out and rewelded, but the car lives in a garage and I never drive it in the rain, so didn't bother. Please note the hood is not fitted in the photo, just resting on the car.
Thanks for your interest.

Couple more questions please - thank you for answers provided so far.
1. Are there any service records or bills to accompany the car?
2. It’s only done 26 miles including the trip to / from the mot centre in the last year, is there any reason for this?
3. Is the vehicle all fully functional / working and ready for use?
4. Would you be prepared to refresh the mot this week whilst the auction is running?

Hi,
The car has only had the recommended oil and filter change at 500 miles. I did this myself, so there are no service records. I believe I have the receipt for the oil filter, but that’s it!
I’ve only been out in it once since the MOT, that’s why I’m selling it. Just busy with other things and have three other vehicles.
It is all working perfectly and drives well. Ready to go.
I did intend to MOT it before sale, but didn’t get around to it in time. I doubt I could get it done before the auction finishes. I’m very confident it would pass though.
