Biography
Retired now and living in the middle of nowhere. Got lots of motorcycles and scooters but have wanted a Lotus 7 for over thirty years. I planned to build a Locost 7, have a donor Miata but I also need to build an airplane. I'm in my 70's and may not have time for both builds so I've decided to buy either a Lotus 7 or Caterham so that I can enjoy it while working on the airplane project as it will likely take more than a few years. I'm kinda slow...

You might check with Chris at Sevens & Elans. He was able to come up with one for my S2 restoration. -
Deposit In. Questions for Senior Drivers
Rodnok replied to rider's topic in General Sevens Discussion
When I purchased my Series 2 Seven in a basket I was 71. I'm now 74 and anxiously awaiting the seller to complete the restoration that was expected to take a year. My primary transportation has always been motorcycles but 've wanted a Seven since I was a teenager but the time was never right. I honestly can't imagine a time when I'll be too old to manage or enjoy driving a Seven just as I also expect to continue riding although I may reduce the size and weight of the bikes as my strength inevitably decreases. I've waited way to long to have a Lotus Seven and for me a degree of challenge or discomfort just adds to the overall experience. I've ridden my Vespa from northern AZ to San Francisco multiple times over the last few years, stopping only for fuel and seem to thrive in the discomfort. Men in my family often live well into their 90's and remain functional til the end. I'm hoping to continue that trend. -
1962 Lotus Super Seven Clutch Master Cylinder
Rodnok replied to TEM's topic in General Sevens Discussion
I'm certainly no authority but in my billing for parts from Chris at Sevens & Elans I have a .75" brake master cylinder for my S2. -
The Seven is not yet in my possession although I've technically owned it for a couple of years. The paneled chassis arrived at Chris T's shop just last week and I expect to be driving the car at some point this year. I'm also in the early weeks of the 35% group, got my first sports car (a 55 Speedster) 57 years ago.

The printed description of the "Morgan" does not match the photo's. Very confusing... -
Making the Turn Signal Switch Look Like the Other Switches
Rodnok replied to Stang70Fastback's topic in General Fabrication
beautifully done. Looks factory. -
Wow, that looks absolutely gorgeous. I'm adding that to my list of places to visit once the Seven is finished. Are you listening Chris?

I moved out of Berkeley 23 years ago, planning to be in Arizona for a year or two. I quickly realized that I'll never be able to afford to go back. I've missed the bay area every day since...Congrats on finally pulling the trigger on a Caterham. I'm sure that's one move you'll never regret.

In aviation it would be referred to as a fairing.

Beautiful work! You should be very proud. I, on the other hand am more than a little jealous.
-
Great drive, beautiful 7 and awesome video quality - made my day as I await the completion of my own seven. Thank you
-
HI Jonathan, Thanks for the heads-up. Had I known about your car a month earlier I would have likely jumped on it however I'm having Chris at Sevens & Elans restore a 65 S2 for me as we speak. If I could afford two I would certainly consider yours as it could be a year before Chris finishes the S2 and I'm chompin at the bit. Thanks again and good luck, Rodnok

Thanks, I'm so excited that I can't sleep or stop smiling. I'm like a kid waiting for Santa...
