Irrelevant Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Isn't She Pretty...... Well, now you mention it . . . . no, she isn't IMO. Are the clams correct? It's a lot of money for not a not very original car. But I suppose the 1964 reg means it well sell.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Whitley Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 And the fat tyres don't do it any favours but 3,800 km? I presume it's been in a museum from new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wile7 Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 It's quite clearly a bit of a Barratts (allsorts ) Adam but I like the individuality of the car - what sevening is all about  Dave Ardley.

Irrelevant Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 but I like the individuality of the car - what sevening is all about What Sevening is about is obviously subjective . . . Â Nice seats and interior The rest is too shiney and new for my liking - I think old cars should be original or, if modified, have period modifications. I suspect this is an old car that's recently been 'restored' to justify a high price in a market where old Sevens sell for good money - which is fair enough.

markc Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Its so difficult to rebuild an old car - and keep it looking old. Will be interested if it sells for that 😬 If you know when it sells - let me know what it goes for 😬 MarkC   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Thompson Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 There appear to be are more Caterham parts than Lotus. What are all those holes in the bonnet for? It is truly horrid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markc Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hi Peter Shes off getting a complete exhaust system made for it at the moment. Should be back this week. Its running - and all it needs is the wings fitted and screen fitted then its off for an MOT and then we will have to see 😬 when its back i'll let you know - pop over for a drink and have a look.  MarkC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miura Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 without wanting to sound to harsh it is closer to a Caterham X-Flow Sprint with a lotus chassis plate than a genuine Lotus 64' vintage SEven ... I am not a taliban in terms of autheticity but that car is too far from original for me : i.e. it does not have a period engine ...

Mickrick Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Very nice! Like the colour scheme, I thought it was ally at first, but appears to be silver paint. Love the red leather. Love the revolution alloys. Love those curvy rear wings. 🥰 But it is rather expensive!  Academics are seldom any use at engineering. One must have a mistrust of theorists.
