Seeking historical information on an early Seven

[Gnoodle7]

I'm new to the forum, yet a 30 year owner of the 1961 Lotus Seven S2 SB1127. She's one of the first lot of Sevens imported by Sy Kaback, Grand Prix Imported Cars. Does anyone have any documentation or possible sources to share beyond the SimpleSevens Kaback pages? I'm specifically seeking any invoice, delivery list, dealer record, or owner history for SB1127.

 

PMs welcome.

 

Cheers, Guy

You might try John Watson of the Historic Lotus Registry. He may have info on when the car was ordered or shipped, possibly a few more tidbits. He will ask for the cars chassis number as stamped by the company that made the chassis and the Lotus number which was used as the cars VIN back in the day. It will be stamped on the data plate. Where the chassis number is depends on which company made it.

This is the relevant page for your car on HLR site:

Good luck with your search.
