SevenAmerica

no worries, thanks!

Hey Craig, tag that for me please -- I can pay any time, and pick up next time I'm in the area! I'm interested in any of the other DSK or other bits that might come off the car as well :-)

Hope things are okay Craig -- Heck, one more year and I'll buy it... did you see Ned's SIV sold off SimpleSevens? I'd be happy to promote your car there, though I'd rather tidy it up and flip it for you in the spring :-) Shouldn't have bought my Triumph last summer, I'd pretty much have the cash on hand :-) Does it have any weather gear at all?

I believe I have two different sets - one old race prepped, another NOS, unless I sold them already! Let me do some digging. I have other 948 spares at this point as well... feel free to email me on johnd@simplesevens.org. My own 1961 Seven America is waiting for me to finish the lightweight 948 I'm building for it!

I can measure to confirm, but if your S3 is to the original dimensions, they will be the same. Let me look into shipping and I'll get back to you. Thanks, jd

Here are a couple photos -- I took them off the shelf and placed them in my S2 so you can see the fit... Sorry, they are not the textured ones... I may have sold this already? Anyhow, there are some 'dimples' in the bases because I had some things set on them, and it's kinda chilly tonight here in Michigan. I can't be sure of these are from a late S2 or S3, but they are really comfortable compared to the original seats in my S2, especially the slightly sculpted setback - the photos make it look 'overstuffed' but I can assure you its not. Can try to get better daytime photos later if you're interested.

I have a set in black -- the fine basketweave texture, if you're still lookin'

ps the nose above is still available if anyone is in need :-)

Sold

SOLD THANKS! Three Lotus Seven books, all great, barely read condition, all about 8 x 10 inches in size. The Chris Rees book is hardcover, about 200 pp, large color photo section Others softcover, about 175 pp, all black and white photos. Great resources all, they belong in any respectable Seven owner's library! Cheers, jd

Agree with the above... Joe, do you mind if I grab the photos and descriptions and put them up on SimpleSevens now? Also, I trust you had an agreed value policy on the car... but if you need help with valuation I am happy to provide support on that.

here are some photos of the nose in question...

hey did he find a muffler? Does it need to be standard Caterham? I have two options, one stainless and one custom of what looks like a flowmaster silencer... you'd need to modify the inlet I suppose

I've got a project nose for you... rough repair completed. Shoot me an email and I can send you some pics if interested. ps. I'm in mid-michigan johnd@simplesevens.org

Hey Kim put these on hold for me or my friend Rick until I figure something out...

If you're still looking I think I have the tonneau for you... let me know and I'll go digging. Best to email me on johnd@simplesevens.org

email you about the non-carbon wings for a friend of mine... don't happen to have brackets available for them do you?

Talk to David himself, Pat Prince, or Clayton Seitz... I guess I haven't talked to them in about 10 years, but it seems that Pat was finishing a build of a DSK Seven for Clayton back then.

Yes, cool but I agree there's rather more to that Seven now than there was on the photos of it on the docks... Great period photos those!

Hey Brad, there's a pair of NOS 551s on ebay right now, from Australia, shipped to you total about $120 US. Not sure I'd sell my used ones for any less... Bonnet catches... that's another story, I'll have to count mine.

Brad, did you get what you needed? I just came across an original set of red L551s in my garage... Let me know if you're interested.

I have a mild steel set for pre-crossfow, 4 into one collector outside the body, port for egt, 2.5 inch straight dump pipe. Let me know if you're interested. Also have an original muffler/silencer that could possibly be grafted on if you really want original.

few people have these laying around... new ones are available from Holden.co.uk for much less than I'd sell an original set for.

1961 Lotus Seven America, 948cc Bugeye Sprite power: 930 empty, 1,100 with me and a full tank (5.5 gals) of gas!
