Apologies if Croc already posted it because I’m reasonably sure he did but… guess who’s back? https://www.barrett-jackson.com/2026-palm-beach/docket/vehicle/1964-lotus-seven-series-2-297 Yes it’s that one that keeps popping up. Going to up for bids with no reserve (finally) on Saturday.

Huge news! Congrats on getting it running. I don't trust the fuel gauge in my car at all (with similar behavior) but unlike a 2016+ car I'm not sure there's a cure. Hope to go for a drive soon! (my car is back up on stands to address a noise coming from the rear suspension, which really means I'm long overdue for a torque check on every bolt back there...)

The biggest eyebrow raise for me in this article was the list of US dealer locations and not including Sonoma... Okay, I'm not losing it, they stealth-edited the article (without comment) to restore Kampena's status as a dealer. Eyebrow un-raised. Current version of the article: Previous, memory-holed version of the article: This is great news, I was worried there for a minute. Both about Kampena's dealership status and my grasp on reality

Wondering if anyone here has gotten ahold of the spherical bushing as shown in that thread... With the second batch open, now would be the time to try and get in if anyone wanted one, or if we wanted to do a group shipment to get them over here...

Glad to hear you're enjoying the car! You probably noticed, but since you were thinking of swapping—there's a set of Apollos for sale on the forum right now...

Did these ever sell?

Latest entry in my "posing at various mountain stores" series. Had this all framed up and then these two just walked into the frame and made it into a great photo!

Technically yesterday Saturday, but still...

FWIW the seller said: we took it on trade from a local client who bought something else and needed the space. It is a blast. Whatever the reason, that's gotta be a record for a BaT relisting (at least, after a successful sale)

Nice! Make sure to post up when you get them to show the fitment on a Caterham. I expect very similar to the MK but just curious. Also, measurements (they look bigger than the Caterham ones I have but would be interested to know how much bigger they are! Bigger is better, of course.

Glad to see the progress! Just in time for early summer here!

Just as a side note, his hat is still still missing since the last 7 they made a video for... very relatable.

Anyone know when or where this tinted aeroscreen was offered? I don't really see the need to look through it but it's kinda cool and I've never seen it before.

I am curious about this one as well, as people often pair the half doors with the aeroscreen and I run a full screen.

And here I thought I was the only person who had broken off a dipstick with the Raceline Zetec sump! Luckily in my case I twas hanging on by a thread when I pulled the dipstick out (it finally came free when moving in for a photo... as a replacement, according to my previous post: After significant overthinking of the catalog and inability to find a matching NOS Ford dipstick (they are discontinued), I settled on a Dorman 917-312 for "2000-2004 Focus" and it seems to be an exact match for the length of the dipstick that came with Zetec/Raceline sump. Hopefully it stays in one piece this time! I'm wondering if it's because the dipstick has to make a sharper bend a few inches from the end in the shallower raceline pan (that plus all the vibration).
