Alaskossie Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 The Series 2 Lotus Seven had a lower scuttle, at the windscreen, than the later Series 3 and Caterham. It would be interesting to get a comparison measurement of the body/chassis height "thickness") at the scuttle of a Series 2 and a modern Series 3.
Alaskossie Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Here is one of my very favorite Seven shots. Can't remember where I saw it -- Blatchat? It was titled "prb - self-portrait." I feel certain that besides shooting the photo, the coachman dropped down a couple of gears, and gave his mount full wellie... And, the Seven looks almost like mine -- except for the rhd and the Brooklands screen......

SkinnyG Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 The Series 2 Lotus Seven had a lower scuttle, at the windscreen, than the later Series 3 and Caterham. It would be interesting to get a comparison measurement of the body/chassis height "thickness") at the scuttle of a Series 2 and a modern Series 3. When I bought my scuttle from RMSCI, they told me they are all the same shape. Referencing Lotus drawings as well as the Prince drawings, the S2 chassis is 22-3/4" from the bottom of the frame to the top of the scuttle hoop. Caterhams have a taller nose than S2s, by about an inch, which may account for the taper.

scannon Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Quoting myself from a 2008 thread on color: According to Peter Egan in his column in the December issue of R&T the proper BRG and Lotus yellow is John Deere green and yellow, available by the gallon at your favorite farm implement store.

Alaskossie Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 MoPho, It's evident what you do for a living -- what a great Seven shot! Is that the Stig behind the wheel?
