Peter Brock's latest column

This is not about Sevens.  But, it about old cars in general, so maybe another tiny explanation for some of us.  Not so much regarding the new, high powered Cats, but certainly applies to original Lotus 7s, and relevant with even my Birkin (over 30 years old).

Thanks for sharing. 

 

Who knows what the future holds but all things considered we out of all are in very good shape. Plenty of different engine configurations have been used, many parts can be hand made which is pretty important for things like body panels and there is a decent after market community. 

 

The comment about survivors is pretty interesting. Any arbitrary older model that we see at car meets and shows must have had a long history of people keeping it alive and somebody sees some kind of sparkle behind it, even it's of no significance to us.
