HankMauel Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Hello USA7s, Found this site from the list in the current Sports & Exotic Car issue article on the 7 and it's iterrations. Here's what sits in my garage when not out on the back roads of the Sierra foothills. As for the license plate, KAR120C was already taken. Loved the original run of The Prisoner in 1967 so when I did up the 7 I figured the plate and surround would pique interest. And I can tell the "age" of those who know where the statement comes from! Anyway, I hope I can contribute something worthwhile to the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Hi Hank, Welcome aboard. How about posting some specs and more pictures of that great looking Se7en in the Members Rides section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Budlite Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Welcome Hank, nice looking Seven! It's always great to have another original Seven here. Your car looked very familiar to me so I did a little checking: http://www.simplesevens.org/mauel.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HankMauel Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 Yes, that's me on simplesevens and a brief account of the restoration. I'll post somemore photos and specs in the next day or two in the "Rides" section. Meanwhile, anyone interest in the process can read the simplesevens story.

TheDingo8MyBaby Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Beautiful restoration. I always wondered what happened to that car and the one hanging from the ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegoat Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Welcome. I am not too far away in Incline up at Lake Tahoe. My car is nearly finished - but is a "modern" Birkin. I would be interested to hear of any groups you are a part of in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HankMauel Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 Welcome. I am not too far away in Incline up at Lake Tahoe. My car is nearly finished - but is a "modern" Birkin. I would be interested to hear of any groups you are a part of in the area. I attend, weather permitting:), a group called Euro Sunday: http://www.eurosunday.net/index.html. They meet at various locations around the Sacramento area on the fourth Sunday of the month. It's early...8-10AM...so you'd need to leave Tahoe at "oh-dark-thirty". After the low key get together, there is often a planned tour/drive to another location, sometimes for lunch, etc. Other than that, I take the 7 to the Auburn Cruise Nights (2nd Friday May-Sept) in downtown Auburn. But they take only pre 1972 cars. http://www.auburncruisenite.com/ for details and history photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
