Oyagi Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Up for sale is a Lotus 7 replica built by the Fejer Bros of Canada in the early 80's. This is a rare "+4" widebody Seven, much sought after as it is more accomodating to realistic physiques. The car was first registered in 1982, powered by Toyota type 2TC 1588cc cross flow with single Weber, manual 5 speed transmission, 5 new 15" Konig Rewind mags with new Yokohama rubber and 5 spare mag wheels (from Datsun S130Z). A body-off restoration was performed by StirtonHotrodz in Oakville, Ontario in winter 2009. The car features coil over shocks suspension, body reworked to permit individual panel removal, adjustable seats, quick disconnect steering wheel, 4 into one headers running to chrome side exhaust. It's registered as a 1982 Toyota, insurance is SUPER LOW, its great on gas an very reliable. A fantastic track car, and engine bay will accept much more power. I have only owned this car since July, but looking to go in a different direction. Price $17,000 obo. Well below market value for a rock-solid, turnkey, need nothing to enjoy 7. Incl: tonneau cover, heater core (removeable), extra set of springs. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs305.snc4/40580_474533716223_690446223_6946164_6787772_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs145.ash2/40580_474533721223_690446223_6946165_605353_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs183.ash2/44590_475391966223_690446223_6968274_7640873_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHKflyer52 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Oyagi, Why are you selling your 7. Did you not find it fun on your trackday or was it not fast enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oyagi Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) It was fun on the track but I realized that in order to make it perform the way I'd like it to would require putting more money into it which was not a can of worms I was not willing to open. As it is now, it is a splendid street car, but I have enough street toys as it is. Someone who truly wants a car for the pure joy of driving it on the road (or even an occasional autocross car) would appreciate it more I believe. I've got my eyes set on an Atom or Exige.

MHKflyer52 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Good reason and an honest one. You should not have a hard time selling it as it looks good. By the Lotus as it is a far better car than the Atom and a lot safer all around but that is just my belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oyagi Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 Agreed, and my wife thanks you for the suggestion as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oyagi Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 Well, the little 7 is officially SOLD. The car sold through communication via this forum, and I thank the admin and members here for this great place. The new owner is right now making the 200 km trek back east to Montreal from Ottawa as I type this. He left with a silly grin on his face (a look I am now very familiar with). I had a chance to see the car in motion as a spectator for the first time as I stood on the street and watched him pull away...it was bittersweet. :seeya: In the 7 weeks I've owned it I've been to a few car shows, went on one short cruise, took her on one very brief track event (2 hrs only), met a lot of curious people, made one very nice friend, and learned a lot about what these cars are all about. I hope to one day pick another one up, so don't expect me to disappear from here entirely. Enjoy the car Michel, and drive carefully! :driving: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
