The Lotus Seven is a small. simple. lightweight
two-seater open sports car produced between 1957 and
1972. It was designed by F1 supremo. Colin Chapman. and
has been considered the embodiment of the Lotus philosophy of
performance through low weight and simplicity. The original model
was highly successful and was a big hit with the club racing scene.
Caterham later bought the rights to make both kits and fully
assembled cars based on the original design and the company ethos
has never been more healthy.

There is minimal bodywork to these cars and this example appears
to have been set up for the circuit with four-point Luke harnesses. br/>roll-over bar and battery cut-out switch. The fibreglass wings are
serviceable but well chipped and possibly original. The aluminium
tub and bonnet are in perfectly good condition although it does
also show light stone marks and scratches. The tyres are Yokohama
performance items and the engine is a twin-cam Lotus unit with twin
Weber carburettors. The interior seating appears to be in good
order and given the scarcity of these early examples. this supplies
huge grin factor and historical significance in one very well
designed package.
