...and yet another "is this a 7?"

actually pretty close to a bike-engined Formula Ford

Not a 7. It's RCR's Atom knockoff.

I would have to say, "No". Since the engine is in the back it pulls too far away from the original Idea of a Seven.

More like a poor man's Ariel Atom. I saw this today myself.

How about this one? http://www.mevltd.co.uk/gallerysonic.html

The 3 cars that this MevLtd. company builds are all rear engine too but the look leans on a sevenesque style too(at least the Sonic 7). I guess the difference is whether or not you are evaluating it as only a casual observer or from a more in-depth perspective such as us.

from some angles, that Sonic7 looks like it should drive down the beach and slide into the water amphibiously ...

 

fine line, this personal taste stuff; hate this Sonic7, but keen on that Australian Elfin from a few weeks back.

Jack McCornack originally had built a Locost 7 (2005 time frame I think) using a V-twin so I guess you can say it is a LSIS car.

 

I actually like the way they made the rear suspension. I also feel that it is sort of a combination of the Locost and an Atom from the looks of the frame.

 

Still like the original design better for a 7.

here's another "not a seven" with the engine in the back, but style points for originality

This looks similar to a design I once seen in a Popular Mechanics magazine. One of those wood car plans they did a piece on.

 

Very nice. Looks like CrisCraft though about a car.

God bless em, we need more not less.

ok, agreed.

Now that's interesting. It's a shame they chose a HD engine with seemingly better V twin engines available. A S&S or even cooler a Guzzi.

 

Is it an automatic or just an ugly sequential shifter?

[Jeff7]

How about this for a laugh?
