rubo Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Hi all Posted in another forum by accident. But this is my baby. Found her 7 (!) weeks ago, after about 10 years of saving, and 1½ years of hunting all over the world. Found her 200miles from where I live. Its an original xflow 1600 engine with just about 60000 miles on it. Original gearbox and rearaxle. At some point it got reskinned, and a new chassis. Just uploaded a couple of pictures for you guy. I'm in college, and it is my little baby, only get to drive in perfect sunshine:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) Classic looking Se7en, right down to the color scheme. It looks like an actual Lotus 7, or is it a clone? Edited August 30, 2009 by Kitcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubo Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 Classic looking Se7en, right down to the color scheme. Is it a Lotus 7, or a clone? Exactly, I really really like the color scheme, with the yellow nose. It is an original Lotus 7, with some matching numbers with engine and SB-number. Got a new chassis at somepoint, and new alu. Otherwise 100% original, mechanically. It has got some new fenders and bonnet. /Rune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valenz Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Sweet! Congratulations. I'd be interested to hear the engine if you have a chance to upload a sound file. Have fun.:driving: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun.:driving: THanks a lot Valenz I will try to find some equipment to record the engine noise. I have some sort of newer Caterham exaust system on, which goes all the way back to the rear of the car, so it doest sound of much...I've considered getting a sidepipe, but again, then it may not be so fun to cruise around in (as it is now, i can cruise around a whole day, without ruining my ears:P) /Rune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHD too! for delivering mail? my ginetta is RHD if i ever get it running. would love to see a better picture of the tailights if you have them? Thanks a lot:) Haha not a bad idea at all. I've also spent all my college money on the car so, could really use some:P I have attached a picture..hope its ok? It is the original S3 taillight (at least the brake light), but the rubberpack isn't. The rubberpack should be a little uneven, so that when you putt it on the rearfender, that bends, the taillight should be horizontal. If anyone knows where to find such a rubberpack, I would like to know:) /rune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
