This is a Lotus 7 replica that's suitable for all size drivers up to 6'6" tall, or for the bigger person as the cockpit is much roomier than all other Lotus 7 replicas. I'm 6'6” and fit fine, but any taller will probably struggle.
It has the 2993cc fuel injected Alfa Romeo V6 engine, which Jeremy Clarkson said was one of the 3 best engines ever made, in the world!
It has just had a new MOT. It passed with flying colours, having never failed in its whole life!
In very recent times it has had the following:
Serviced, including oil, filters, brake fluid etc.
Timing belt in 2022.
Clutch, thrust bearing and gearbox oil 2019.
New front brakes.
New brake pads.
Rear calipers re-sealed.
All LED lights.
Full stainless steel exhaust (£500) which sounds amazing.
New fuel pump.
Spark plugs, leads, distributor cap.
Beautiful OZ wheels in great condition.
Also comes with the original build manual.
2 keys.
Seats are in excellent condition, are on runners, and they also recline and have harnesses.
No weather equipment.
There are only 9 of these left, I believe. When they occasionally come up for sale they usually go for between £7, 500 and £10, 000, and often come with the old Rover 3500cc V8 engine with carbs and little power. I'm asking just £6500, and this has the amazing Alfa engine.
*** I live about 3 miles from the huge Powderham Castle Classic Car Show (just below Exeter, Devon) which is taking place on the 8th and 9th July. If you're going to the show you are welcome to pop round to see my car at the same time.*** If you're extra tall this is the only Lotus 7 replica that is likely to fit you.
They are very rare, with only 9 registered in the UK, I believe.
It has a proper number plate rather than the dreaded "Q", which means it looks better, insurance is easier, and you can swap it for a personal plate.
It has a great Alfa Romeo engine.
Cheap to insure. My last quote was £156 for 2000 miles.
I've had shoulder surgery (rotator cuff rip) and driving the car is not possible.
