By popular demand...ONE person asked for more details:D..here's some info and phots of mySeven during it's revival.

 

BMC series A engine 1275 cc +.020 overbore, mild cam, 3 branch exhaust, twin SU's

Spridget transmission

Reinforce Triumph rear axle

Minilites with skinny 155 x 80 x 13 tires

Pretty much what a Seven America would have been except for the "improvements".

 

Since most of the photos are bigger than the upload limits I'll send you to www.simplesevens.com and look up #2073 for more story and photos.

My racing partner kept it, along with the DSK front suspension bits when we took it back to 'street' condition.

It may find it's way into something in the future...like a stealth Elite!

Nice, thanks.

Thats just lovely. Great color scheme, beautiful interior, very tasteful! Brings back fond memories of my old Series 2.

[HankMauel]

Thanks...glad you folks like it.

It is not a "concours" restoration...as if there is such a thing for a Seven...but done leaving some of the patina from the past 47 years. It's a fun driver and meant for that purpose.

 

Hope to cross paths with a few of you eventually...in your Sevens!

Makes me want a detachable wood steering wheel on my megabusa. To add that historic touch.

Love the Clamshells, way it was supposed to be. Great looking car.
