A fantastic opportunity to get a great example of the 'Lotus 7' replica kit cars for some open air summer motoring. This car has a tubular stainless steel chassis and stainless steel body paneling with Oxford Blue GRP nosecone, cycle wings and rear wheel arch edges.
The car passed the DVLC Single Vehicle Approval (SVA) test on the 9 October 2007 and is properly registerd on an age related 'C' plate. The car is also taxed until October 2008 so is literally all ready to go!
What makes this one special ????
The donor parts for the build (primarily engine, gearbox and differential) were sourced from a Ford Sierra with a genuine 20k miles from new and with a Comprehensive Service History! The engine is the preferred 2.0l Pinto with Type 9 gearbox.
The build included a huge number of extras...
Drivetrain: New Piper 185 cam; Silicone hose set and alloy header tank; Pipercross K3000 Air Filter; 4 into 1 stainless exhaust system with Techcraft repackable silencer; Quickshift gearlever kit; Formula Power inline fuel catalytic treatment.
Chassis / exterior: GAZ adjustable suspension all round; Forward opening bonnet with fixed scuttle; Team Dynamics alloys with Maragoni Zeta Tyres (including spare); Aeroscreen (All parts are also included in the sale to convert to windscreen should you so wish); Halogen headlamp conversion.
Interior: Fibreglass Worx Seats; Sabelt 4 point harnesses; Mountney steering wheel
In all the car was built with as little un-necessary weight as possible resulting in a total wet weight of 692kg, with front of 358kg and rear of 334kg giving near perfect 50:50 balance.
Finally the domestics - funds will need to have fully cleared before the vehicle is collected or I'll be happy to receive cash on the day!
Many thanks for looking and happy bidding!
