Hello Lotus Club members,
After much deliberation I have decided to sell my 1965 Lotus 7 Series II
as it is not quite what I am looking for in a vintage car.
I would love to see it go to someone locally who will use it
for its intended purpose: Vintage Racing. I should add
that the car has never been raced; I inherited it from my father
before he could race it. It is currently driven on road for enjoyment in the summers.
I have emailed the Lotus Club as well as given information to the Vintage Racing
Club of BC first. If this does not work I will expand my efforts elsewhere.
I am looking for a car better suited to my tastes of low key rallying.
I am willing to consider trades for early Porsches or Alfa Romeos.
They have a little better weather proofing and comfort for longer trips.
I have uploaded a photobucket webpage with pictures at this link:

Email me if you would like any more info
or maybe try to talk me out of it!!
