Finished in Lotus Yellow and in fast road-spec, this Lotus Seven Series 4 was acquired in 1982 by our vendor’s late husband who cherished and enjoyed it for over three decades
At some point during this period, the Kent 1. 6-litre cross-flow unit was replaced with a Lotus Twin-Cam with appropriate clutch and gearbox
We understand that it competed mainly in Championships run by the HSCC, latterly the 1970s Road Sports Championship and remarkably took part in a number of Holly-Birkett 6-Hour team relay races
The original engine and gearbox etc. will be supplied as will numerous other spares, tools, workshop equipment, roll-hoop, wheels, tyres etc., basically the entire useable contents of his garage
The car has not run since 2018 so will obviously need to be fully recommissioned. It's basically a 'Garage Find' and consequently offered without Reserve
This yellow Lotus and its late owner enjoyed years and years of fun together and now seems a great time to set it free it from storage, return it to top form and hopefully we will see this little Seven back on the hills or bashing round Snetterton as part of a relay team once again
