Still more to come.

Reliving the good life.

Mondo; I like your bird dog picture.

Several cars were called Dino although I like the old V6 coupe as shown and the somewhat similar convertible. In the top set of pictures I think it is the red car.

Josch - More pictures please.

The Automobile magazine article starts off " Mazda Ebrahimi is ruggedly handsome, unfailingly affable, remarkably generous, extraordinarily clever, and certifiably insane..." http://www.automobilemag.com/features/0711_lotus_seven/index.html

Bruce - I looked and a bigger version of the pictures and now fully agree with you!

I hope that when the kit gets opened someone will be there to record it in great detail. A modern archaeological dig. A chance to record a bit of Lotus history that can be all too easily lost.

Riding in the back of a pickup is legal in VA provided you are over a certain age, 16 I think.

Looking at the other cars (Citroen & Jensen Healey) in the background suggest that the owner is a glutton for punishment.

I worked with a guy who's parking was excellent. When we would go out to lunch and he would drive he always parked with perfect spacing all around. He admitted to parking cars at a country club while in college. His was the only one who had not totaled a car. He had dinged a few but not totaled any.

XI - Yum Yum!

I think that Lotus did a 5 (or 6) wheel cart design. I never saw it except in pictures. I had pushed (pun there) to get a couple sent to LOG so we could have shopping cart match racing with the headline "Race a Lotus - Free!"

Does anyone know times on a well driven Westfield 11? Much more aerodynamic than a 7 but much of the same suspension...

Does anyone know him? Have an idea of his abilities as a speaker? Have his contact info? Please post or send a private message.

Good luck on the sale of your ego. I sold mine for a cookie.

There are few from the early days of of Lotus and Seven left. When one leaves us much history and passion are lost. RIP

Excellent event. Rain made the ground so soggy that the show was moved to the BMW parking lot rather than on the grass. By my count there 8 Lotus in attendance. Reportedly 495 cars were signed up for the show. $20 bought me 3 AutoX runs in a BMW 135. Nice family car. Met a guy who claimed to have owned a #411 (an extremely early Seven). Also met a early Lotus dealer, since moved on to better things. Next year they will be having several track events at this meet. In 2006 I did several of these events (all in new BMWs) for $80. Best driving deal I ever saw.

Seems like someone got a good deal.

A hood & windscreen? I think he is going soft! On a bit more serious note I would be tempted to redo the nose and hood for a more integrated look with a bit more room.

Looks nice. I like the S4 in blue. It even has the Lotus stripe and Lotus wheels. Good luck.

How will all the heat escape?

Have you thought about polishing the aluminum?
