Description
Classic Car Design presents the Lotus Seven Series 2 "678 LBJ"! It dates from 1962. It came to France several decades ago and has been maintained and preserved with as many original elements as possible, a Seven in a state of rare authenticity. The car is accompanied by a file of invoices going back nearly 30 years. The original registration book is present and lists all the English owners, the first owner being a RAF pilot... Its last French owner kept it for more than 20 years.
Externally, this car shows elements that are sometimes restored, renewed or kept in their original state, which gives it extraordinary charm. The paint, which has been polished, nevertheless shows the marks of time, notably cracks on the wings, but these do not dull the car’s handsome look. All the accessories are in very good condition. The car is equipped with a hood, side windows and a tonneau cover.
Inside, the upholstery is in very good condition. One sits on a bench seat! The dashboard is entirely original and superbly patinated and the entire instrumentation works. When you lift the carpets and the seats, you can see that the aluminium sheets are original.
Mechanically, it is the small 997cc (105E) engine under the bonnet, inherited from the Ford Anglia, knowing that this little unit weighs only 430kg! It should be noted that the chassis has never been touched; it is perfectly original. The car has benefited from a recent overhaul and runs perfectly in every respect.
This Lotus Seven is among the cars featured in Andrew Morland’s book “Lotus Seven and Caterham” and you can also find it in issue 228 of Auto Retro from January 2000! Beware, you are dealing with a genuine "collectible object"! If like "Number 6" (Patrick McGoohan) you feel the urge for freedom, succumb to this little speedster…
