Similar color scheme as Cowell's (former) CSR, but this was a 480.

Just finished reading the article and when flipping through the rest of the magazine saw anther company that I wasn't aware of that sells a 7 kit. http://www.capefear7.com It amazes me how many copies of a nearly 60 year old design are being made, guess that says a lot about the original concept. I remember seeing a book years ago that listed all the companies that were making 7 type cars , I wonder what that number would be now.

Like Lucky Dawg said, it is a Seven 480SV out of our location in Irvine, CA. I accompanied the writer Larry in the car for an afternoon and based the article from that. Any questions, let me know!

At the time of the writing of that book, there had been 81 companies that had produced versions of the Lotus 7.

 

At the British Motoring Conclave a couple of weeks ago I discovered that one of our LOCO members has one of the last Robin Hood Sevens, still in the crate as well as an original Lotus 7, disassembled and awaiting restoration.
