1958 Lotus Seven Series 1

Lotus 7 Series 1 Early.

Here we have for sale the rolling chassis of a

series one car with the master cylinders in the

Same position as the Lotus 11. I bought the

remains of this car some 40 years ago it was used

for grass track racing, I raced a series one E

Type ! The chassis had been very heavily modified

large role cage back end chopped off plus lots of

others add on's I restored the chassis many years

Ago. The original radiator survived as it was

Protected by a great big front bumper!!!! The

engine gearbox that is with the car was apparently

the one that came with the car as it had a Rover V8

Engine very crudely mounted i it!!!! There is no

chassis number with it but it was a very early

Car. There is everything with it to make it a

running rolling chassis, the engine has a spare

cooper cylinder head a lightweight flywheel plus

Cooper 998 pistons. Gearbox is there but I cant

find the great lever, propshat is the correct

length, axle is the correct Nash one with 8"

Drums. This could quite easily be moded to fit a

Climax engine and make a great race car. The

chassis has the mountings for the De Dion diff if

You were going that way. Anymore photos required please ask, Very rare opportunity to acquire such a car. only reason for selling is I'm now back in too Ferrari'sOnly history I know about the car is it was a grass track car in the late 1970's
