Comments from the seller

This car is a 1978 Lotus Seven Kit, It has a Ford Kent 1400 BRM motor with a single choke carb. A 1600GT twin choke carb and manifold comes with it. This car was first registered by me in Ireland in 2010, but never completly finished. It is in effect a new car. It has never been registered in Australia. The car starts, drives and stops. I have polybushed the suspension since it has been here in Aus, and we have just rebuilt the head in the last month adding new hardened valves and a new head gasket. The interesting thing that sets the Lotus/Caterham Sevens aside from the replicas is the small touches to the suspension, this car has an adjustable rear panhard. I do have a 1600 Mexico M711 Escort motor with twin Weber DCOE40 side drafts for $5000 if interested. It comes with all the original paperwork from the UK and Ireland with the doner car registration, and the VIA (vehicle Import Authority) from 2011. I have included the correct Lotus Chassis plate and the BRM engine plate.
