pi7ot Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I think that it might be a Robin Hood that has been personalized with a Brooklands screen and some interior stuff. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHKflyer52 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 There is a company called MK Engineering in the UK that has produced some LSIS and has a mid engine LSIS that they are now marketing. That car might be one of theirs as I think I have seen a photo of one that looked like it in the past but I could be mistaken. Still is a nice looking 7, especially the dash.

West7se Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 That is Germany, the "RO" prefix on the license plates actually means it is issued in the county of Rosenheim, Bavaria. Germany is left hand drive but like here there are UK imports with RHD. FWIW that car has temporary red dealer plates No idea what it is, either. Just had a rather abrupt responce to the fact about the red plates " 779 posts 45 months [report] 00:19 http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/imgs/quote.gif did i recognize a spitfire front suspension??? and its not on dealer plates!!!! you have no clue about german registration plates!!!

slomove Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 ....... you have no clue about german registration plates!!! Some folks do get upset dont they, lol Jeez, who is that idiot? As a matter of fact most red plates are dealer plates for moving otherwise unregistered cars around. There are special red ones for test drives of historic cars and that may well be such plates but who cares about that level of detail.... If you really want to know the gory detail.

DB6 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) Some people take things so seriously... Reminds me of this xkcd comic http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/TheDingo8MyBaby/duty_calls.png so what the $%@? is it It is also a WIDE car, which makes me think of a one off, plus fact that it matches nothing out there .

I know , he is a rather arrogant person. He has just shot me down again, when I questioned him on how he knows its on Spitfire susp as appossed to GT6/herald/vitesse, he responded "because it looks like spitfire..and when it looks like spitfire..it is spitfire!!" Not to worry, he obviously knows far more than me....... NOT. How the hell you can tell that its Spitty susp from those pics I will never know. Anyway no news from my email as yet, I`m not that confident in getting a reply but you never know. Thanks for the link, unfortunatly I cant read that......, knew I should have studied harder at school . However in my quest for infomation, I have found a wiki link which explains things a bit better http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_car_number_plates Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHKflyer52 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Whilst searching i found this http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/3195/1207e.jpg Anyway one problem at a time..... Lotus built two hardtop 7's to be used as rally cars of which only one still exists to my limited knowledge. Their was a web site that I had run across that told about the two cars and some of the problems that Lotus had with the such as weight and windows fogging up in the cold if I remember correctly. The site might have been the Donkervoort site but I am not sure. Here are a couple of photos that I did save of the two Lotus 7 hardtop cars of which I think the photo you posted is the first car (the one on display).
