Reluctantly selling my prized first Ubuilt replica Lotus 7. Vehicle registered in Vancouver, B.C. as a home build.
I used my old 1974 MGB for the drivetrain but everything else is new or custom made. I'm selling because I don't have room for my toys any more as I'm at that time of life where I'm downsizing and have too much stuff. This car up until 3 years ago was used used regularly in Summer time for car shows and driving fun but work, other projects, downsizing mean I have to let go. Car's in great shape but last winter I started to modify the nosecone from my own home made one which is in some photos to a factory Caterham one. Same goes for the hood. The old pieces come with the car if you want them. There is also weather equipment, soft top and sidescreens from a Westfield that are included in the selling price but I haven't modified them to fit yet. There is a small oil leak from the gearbox which is due to it standing for the last few years but otherwise everything works fine. I will help with shipping if necessary, vehicle is in Vancouver and driveable. Payment in full via PayPal or bankers order/draft/certified cheque to my bank account. Vehicle sold as is but represented honestly. On 29-Mar-14 at 09:18:46 EDT, seller added the following information: Car will sell to the US. For some reason I can't undo "will sell to Canada only". Apologies for any confusion. On 29-Mar-14 at 11:33:37 EDT, seller added the following information: I've added photos from the last time I had the car on the road. These are from the All British Field Meet at Van Deuseb Gardens Vancouver, May 2011 |

Lotus Evora S IPS automatic transmission option arrives in October [w/video]
Sat, 28 Jul 2012The Lotus Evora S IPS that the company showed drifting all around its test track earlier this year will be available in October, says Car and Driver. The kinder, gentler Lotus is fitted with the six-speed Intelligent Precision Shift transmission, an Aisin unit swiped from the Toyota Camry and retuned with Lotus electronics and actuators.
There are two 'regular' modes and two 'sport' modes on the IPS gearbox. The former include a traditional hands-off automatic and an auto mode with shifts handled by wheel-mounted paddles. The latter are a sport automatic setting that sharpens the car's responses and a manual sport mode for total driver control. The Evora S IPS hits showrooms in October. For now, you can take a look at Lotus' test driver giving it the beans in the video below.
Genii capitalizing on Lotus F1 tech with new sports car?
Fri, 24 Jan 2014Detractors will tell you that there's little to be applied from Formula One racing to the cars we drive, but what about the cars most of us could only dream of driving? We're talking about supercars from the likes of Ferrari and McLaren - two hugely successful F1 racing teams that have successfully made the transition into building exotic sports cars for the road. And soon there may be one more.
That would be the Lotus F1 Team, which is rumored to be working on a sports car project of its own. Now we know what you might be thinking: Lotus already makes sports cars. Indeed they do, only the F1 team has nothing more to do with the automaker behind the Exige and Evora than the name they share. Today the team (formerly known as Toleman, Benetton and Renault) is owned by Genii Capital, whose chairman Gerald Lopez recently confirmed the rumors to Auto Motor und Sport: "We are going to develop a carbon chassis for a sports car that can be built in large quantities.... But this has nothing to do with Formula 1."
With little to nothing in the way of details available, the circulating rumors had tied the venture to on-again, off-again Italian auto marque De Tomaso. But our source at ATS (which recently bought the rights to the De Tomaso name following Gian Mario Rossignolo's aborted attempt to revive it) firmly denied the prospect of any such collaboration. Spokesmen for the Lotus F1 Team would not divulge any information; neither would the press office for parent company Genii Capital, leaving the door wide open to speculation once again.
Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition
Wed, 26 Dec 2012Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
