Vehicle Detail
For sale we have a right hand drive British Lotus Super 7 replica. Car assembled in Auckland New Zealand in 1997 with new Series III frame built from factory Lotus as pattern. Built by professional race car fabrication shop as the owner’s personal car. Japanese specification Toyota 4AGE 16 valve twin cam engine installed with two Weber DCOE-42 carbs at that time. About 160HP, 7800 RPM red line. Ford Mk II Escort rear end with 3.88 to 1 ratio. Ford Cortina spindles and disc brakes. Adjustable brake bias front to rear. Triumph Herald rack and pinion steering. New Zealand regulations are very strict on registering a low volume production car for street use. Suspension components are magnaflux inspected. Structural welds are inspected. Suspension travels and angles are carefully checked. All wiring, lines and hoses must be correctly routed and secured. Seat belt anchors are regulated. And the list goes on. Excellent handling and quick acceleration as expected from a Lotus. Anyone who thinks BMW is the "Ultimate Driving Machine" has not driven a Lotus. This has all the charter and quality of an original Lotus with modern engine power and dependability at a fraction of the cost. Note that the original owner/builder was an official of Sports Car Club of New Zealand and this car was built to strict racing rules. Very much the same as US Sports Car Club of America rules. You will not be disappointed. Drive this car anywhere…just get out and stretch from time to time. Comes with a nearly completed fiberglass hardtop for shade from Texas sun. I will deliver or meet you within a couple hundred miles of Waco Texas. Buyer responsible for shipping and or delivery cost and arrangements. I love this car and am only selling because I have bought a World Class Motorsports Ultralite S2K. I can't keep both! I added picture of VIN plate. This number matches title and Data plate. If you are concerned about information on data plate being a problem in your state simply remove it. All any state in the US should care about is that the VIN is same as title. I also added picture of car in blue as it was when new in New Zealand. Note Registation plate on car matchs Registation number on data plate. New Zealand assigns Registation it normaly stays with car as long as it is in the country.
