Nothing like the above posts until you consider my car started as a dead and ready for the junk yard MGB and now has been brought back to life as a Replica of a Lotus 7 or Locost 7 and by no means as low-cost as the book said it would be in the end but still a lot of fun and it dose not even look like an MGB or run like one. It runs better and the smile is much greater.

Dang, Tom...that was certainly a very high initial spec! Orange was already assembled, so I didn't have much choice in what I got.

Al, Once I decided I wanted a 7 I think I read everything ever written about them. After about five years of research, I was ready to order. At the time, the superlight SLR was the top spec. So I ordered it that way. Then while waiting for delivery the R500 spec came out. :crazy: I was crushed. There was a faster version. :ack:

 

But then I saw that the R500 engine required a "refresh" after around 3000 miles :crazy: :crazy: And after driving mine, I don't think I could handle another 40+ HP. I can't imagine the new Duratec engined 7's with 260-300 hp. I guess that power helps with the top end on the track. For autox it seems like overkill, at least to me.

 

I guess I did make one addition, THE SLICKS. Now that really transformed the handling. If you think a seven handles well on street tires. Try a set of slicks. Shame they don't make street legal slicks!
