According to the GA title, I just bought a '1993 Lotus 7', VIN SABTVR0393xxxxxxx. Good news is this number agrees with a stamped number plate welded on the frame near the right front wheel. No other markings. It has a fiberglass body, a Kent crossflow and a nice build. Story is it was a British kit, built in England and imported to the US 7-8 years ago.
US paperwork is sketchy as it can't be a '1993 Lotus 7' and Wiki says the SAB manufacture code is Optare, a bus company! Oh, I can register it and drive it but I sure would like to know what it really is. Anybody have ANY clue on my new Locost?
