Can we get some pics of the back? Engine? Boot?

Are those sun visors available here?

Experimental airplanes rejoice!

Utah is beautiful country for 7ing

With the development of EV components, perhaps it's time to reinvent the S4 as a larger, simpler and friendlier open top, open wheel EV roadster. The S4 wasn't ever a bad design, it was bad timing. .

Do the door windows roll down, this time?

Needs to be available as a kit

Plug first with corrosion prevention on the terminals and isolate well from movement and vibration. Hardwire failing that. There's always a good possibility you will be taking it apart for some reason before any connection problems appear. If the application were an airplane or something which the integrity is critical, I'd say hard wire. But this is a toy.

I wouldn't mind upgrading to a larger tank that will fit in the existing bottom bracket

Great looking car there

Great article. The comments are the best. Im stealing my new signature from there.

Lotus made a few S3 SS models with twin cam. And there was a premiere show car to introduce the model. I suspect the Nearn family still has it "NRN7" plate. That picture looks like it. The redness was for the show. The mounting of the front amber lamps, louver grille and recessed brake lamps are unique things limited to that model. Only 14 or so were made (officially).

Here for piping and lots of trim https://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/p-1943-vinyl-interior-piping

Boot cover black, white piping. Wing piping white. Tonneau, hood and all weather equipment is black. Get with Thundersport https://www.thundersport.co.uk/ Or Arch Motors. Also, pay the money and get on the Lotusandcaterham club so you san post on Blatchat. https://www.caterhamlotus7.club/ Also, there are Lotus clubs all over. Post WTB on them all and you might find some spares. Fleabay too. And PLEASE! Don't paint any chassis or suspension tubes the body color. There is a shade of gray for chsssis. Gray for seeing cracks better. There may have been various shades of gray, it doesn't really matter which exactly.

Very clean. Did yoy have to Tap the frame?

Yes, I'm doing that. Considering annealing the cone to ease it

My Brother in law did that

Y'all got more balls than a bowling alley.

Looking for a plain bonnet without vent louvers or a GT bonnet with a hole for downdraught carb. THANKS

And the winner is....

Lotus, and Caterham, used whatever they could get that worked. Fortunately, in the 50s and 60s, there were plenty of small cars to pull parts from. Chasing originality for this item may not be worth the frustration. Unfortunately, those cars aren't plentiful anymore, especially in the states. Use whatever will work. It's the Lotus way.
