RoadDad Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Hello all. Sorry to have my first post be a strange hassling question. I have run across a Seven that may be for sale and I was hoping that someone may recognize this 1966 Lotus Seven. I hope to have more information about the car soon and will post it as I obtain it. Thanks, RoadDad http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/591509817_66 Seven.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 It would probably help if you posted what city it's in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al N. Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I would ask John Donohoe...it's safe to say that he's the dean of original Lotus Sevens here in the USA... Go over to simplesevens.org to get John's contact info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadDad Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Now why didn't I think of that? :banghead: Thanks Al. I'll try to keep this post updated as I get info on the car. So far it has been pretty sparse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadDad Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Here is the original ad: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/car/727473003.html The owner would never send me any further pictures or info (chassis number, etc). I just got an email from him saying he sold the car to a friend of a friend. So. I'm still in the market for an original series 1 or 2 Lotus Seven. If anyone comes across one, please let me know.

11Budlite Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 "Starting a Lotus Museum." - Cool! Have any details, location, etc?? Bruce :7drive: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadDad Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Virginia. Still in the process of gathering the cars. Not many local Lotus around here so I'm stuck searching the 'net for them. I keep running into situations where guys on the other side of the land mass sell their cars to "locals" while I'm arranging shipping. And chaps on the other side of the pond won't even communicate with me :banghead: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadDad Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Once it is closer to completion I will let everyone know so you can come visit . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxologist Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Well then you need to buy my Elan too then U'll probably sell it to someone local while he's arranging shipping. u should drive the elan crosscountry and be like Randy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to sell it to someone local, I need to put distance between us or I will cry when I see it Don't want to be like Randy, his car broke down all the way :ack: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadDad Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Well then you need to buy my Elan too then Didn't I tell you once I was already working on the wife about that? I was serious. I may have dreamed I told you that and really never did. Either way, I really am working on her. But your Elan wouldn't be for the museum and that so far has been part of the problem. It would have to be my personal toy and she thinks I have too many of those ("for now" ) already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadDad Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Dean, I remember seeing the pictures of your series 1 that you posted on EliseTalk when you got it running. I drooled on my keyboard. I call 1st dibs if/when you sell it. Please let me know if you hear of anyone, particularly in VA, who is selling. I keep losing cars to "local buyers" when I try to buy them from a distance.
