Paul Hill Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Yup...kit was made in Van Kleek Hill, Ontario by Guy Williams. Legal hassles over his clone of the Dutton kit prompted the new model I believe. He did make some other sevenish kits but haven't heard a peep about him in years.

BessieTheSeven Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Makes sense with the Dutton reference. Calling it a Beaver is somewhat apt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locost7018 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Come on Bessie, lighten up. I am sure you have been called a "Dune Buggy" before which is much worse than a "Dutton" or "Beaver"?. TeeHee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdca7 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I suspect I am in the minority here, but that seems to be a decent looking attempt at making this style of car a bit more aerodynamic. I'd have to see it in person, but I kind of like it. I love the look of the Series 1 - 3 Sevens, but if you did have to make it more aerodynamic.... I wonder if it has a significantly reduced drag coefficient? Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidL Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Vankleek Hill? Wow, never thought that town would come up here! One of my best friends lives there. It's a one traffic light sized-town! ---David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Hill Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 David Had to chuckle at your "one traffic light town" comment... our little town of Morrisburg is not a lot bigger and only has 1 light! Guy was actually not in town...built his kits literally in a barn a few miles out. Am suddenly feeling old when I recall that it was likely 25 years ago that I was last there! Where DID the time go?
