My Seven S3 1969

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

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.

Sweet! Congratulations. I'd be interested to hear the engine if you have a chance to upload a sound file.

 

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)

Sweet! many happy miles to you!

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:)
