ricko32 Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Wanted to buy Lotus Seven. I have been looking for a Lotus Seven for the last eight months. It needs to be a series one or two. I have seen a few for sale but they just weren’t the ones for me. It’s hard to describe the one that will do it, but I will know it when I see it. The series two should be LHD. I prefer a car that has been correctly restored to original period condition, but a car in any condition will be considered. These are the place’s I have been looking. Auto Europe, Birkin USA, Bring A Trailer, Caterham USA, Garden State Sevens, Hemmings, James Whiting, Lee Chapman, LEO, Locust Enthusiasts Club, Mid Atlantic Caterham, Mike Brothewood, SASCO, Sevens and Elans, Simple Sevens, Tony Tompson, USA-7s, Wire Wheel, LOG29 and of course EBAY. Rick
S1Steve Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Rick, First, Welcome to the club. You are looking in all the right places. My first pick for a 7 is exactly what you are looking for, that was 2002. Two problems for me, I don't fit in one, and I could not find a nice one. This forum is a great place to state what you are looking for, and I hope we can make your wish come true. Keep looking and when you find it, POST LOTS OF PHOTO'S !! Finding what you want is half the fun, Steve

Al N. Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 There was also that project out in LA area with the BDA. Looked fairly complete, down to the "rare as hens teeth" steering wheel.
ricko32 Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 AL How would I get the details of that project in the LA area? Rick
11Budlite Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 AL How would I get the details of that project in the LA area? Rick Rick - Here's the original thread on that 1961 project car. It's a RHD car that originally came with a 948cc Sprite motor: http://www.usa7s.com/vb/showthread.php?t=3101&highlight=cosworth
ricko32 Posted July 4, 2009 Author Posted July 4, 2009 Thanks for the Link. RHD wont do, and even if it did a BDA is a S2 chassis???? I don't think that's a god idea, for me. Keep on searching. Rick
ricko32 Posted July 26, 2009 Author Posted July 26, 2009 Still Looking. The couple of leads I got just didn't work out. Help! Rick
