1962 Lotus 7 (seven) Not A Replica on 2040-cars
Old Hickory, Tennessee, United States
|
Frame up rebuild of a 1962 Lotus 7. I've owned this Seven since 1975, almost 40 years. Before the kids came along, I used to auto cross my seven in the Bay Area of California. Once the kids came along I had to put away my hobby until I was afforded the time and money to resurrect her from the ground up. It has always been in the garage, never stored outside. I started the restoration process back in 2008 in my spare time. Just before moving to Tennessee in 2012, I completed my journey to the vehicle you see here today. It was a long tedious process, of which I am proud of, but now it is time to let her go and move on to another project. It will be sad to see her go after all of this time, but I'm sure whoever gets her will enjoy the experience of owning an amazing Lotus Seven. Try not to smile after each ride, I dare you! So, for some more of the specific details. -1968 1.6l Ford Crossflow Engine (less then 50 miles on the fresh rebuild) -Dry Sump -Dual Dellorto Side Draft Carbs -Isky Cam -Ported and Polished Head (Possibly HOLBY modified) -Ford Cosworth Pistons -Lightened Flywheel -Balanced -1968 Cortina GT 4 Speed Transmission (new clutch assembly and hydraulics) -3.89 Ford Cortina GT Rear End with Detroit Locker -New wiring throughout -Original Speedometer (rebuilt) -All other gauges are New Original Type Gauges (Smith) -Electric Tachometer -Tom Robertson Formula Type Suspension (DSK Cars) -New Toyo R888 Tires -American Racing 5 Spoke Aluminum Wheels -Freshly Reupholstered Seats using Original Patterns -3in 4 Point Driver and Passenger Harnesses -Les Leston Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel (right hand drive) -New Dashboard from Original Lotus Material -Original Chassis (reinforced and powder coated) -All New Hand Formed Aluminum Panels -All New Fiberglass Fenders and Nose (late model wide rear fenders) -1968 Aston Martin Goodwood Green and Lotus Yellow Paint Scheme -Original Headlights, Marker Lights, Windgard Taillights For more information please check out www.simplesevens.org/1211/1211.htm Please feel free to contact me and I will get back to you as soon as possible. |

Recap: 2013 Australian Formula One Grand Prix is all about the rubber [w/spoilers]
Sun, 17 Mar 2013A pre-season full of talking points was swapped for a brand-new set of talking points after the running of the opening grand prix of the 2013 Formula One season. The consistency of the regulations from last year to this year and the triplicate dominance of Infiniti Red Bull Racing meant that no one would have been that surprised if the relative order of things remained the same. But teams found so many ways to switch things up that, in typical pre-season fashion, no one was ready to make any bets on in-season performance, and a couple of surprising players suffered the ignominy of getting it really wrong: McLaren knew it was in trouble from the very first test, while Williams drivers applauded their car as the best in years, only to have Pastor Maldonado call it "undriveable" on the very first day of practice in Melbourne.
And then there were those Pirellis, the Italian company talking up the fact that its super soft tires would only go off so quickly that it would force teams to pit at least twice during the race.
Even then, no one could have seen the first round of pit stops beginning on Lap 5.
Lotus Elise, Exige recalled over oil line fire risk
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Lotus is recalling 451 examples of the Elise and Exige from the 2007 and 2008 model years. The cars in question, built from December 1, 2006 to October 31, 2007 could be affected by an oil cooler line that detaches from its fitting. If the line comes loose it could release oil onto the engine and possibly start a fire, or onto a tire and potentially cause a crash.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates the recall is expected to begin on March 4. Notified owners can take their cars to their dealers for repairs to the lateral oil cooler hose and hose fittings. You'll find the full release from the NHTSA below with more information.
