November 28, 2007: There's an unbuilt CMC "Miata" frame on eBay.
It's the same thing I started with. I'm amazed it's surfaced, but then again I did hear of an unbuilt 1977 Caterham in the Denver area yesterday.

I'm interested in the background story of this kit. The seller says that CMC went out of business around the time he took delivery, but the design of the rear control arms is an earlier one that was used before Heikki's car was built - I think that's the case, anyhow. Perhaps it's one of the frames that went through a dealer. The interior panels are more complete than mine were. However, the scuttle is missing. More importantly, so is the MSO which may make it difficult to register.

Still, for anyone looking for a starting point for a Seven here's a good option. There are a few things to fix up - the rear differential mount comes to mind immediately - but readers of this website won't have trouble figuring that all out.
