Re: 4th pic (engine compartment): Given the full fenders, chrome headlights, and carbs this must have been an original configuration. Can you please post a pic of the current engine compartment?

 

 

 

Thx,

2nd question: On each side where the back of the scuttle meets the top of the top frame rail there is (was?) what looks like a fairly heavy plate with a hole in it. Is this for a roll cage arm? If so, does it come with said roll cage?

 

Thanks,

AP

Sorry for the late response. The holes on the sides of the scuttle are not for a cage,there was a switch mounted to one that I no longer use and the other at this point has no use. Here is a couple of videos of the car running. The engine compartment looks the same now as it did when I bought it-no changes from the posted picture. Thanks Rich

This car is fully sorted-I don't think you will find a nicer example of a 7 for less-here is a few more pics.... Rich

Heck of a deal for somebody wanting to get into a 7...and I'm really liking the windup key in the back.

Those roads down there won't know what hit them!!!!! I can just hear that R1 screaming thru the hills.

~35 miles from Tail of the Dragon but plenty of fun roads closer. Will be put to heavy track duty as soon as a beefier cage is fitted.

 

Have been itching to get one of these for years, this will be a great introduction to the 7 style car.

Lotta car for the price! Roll bar won't pass muster at track days, if that matters.
