We're interested in a Lotus 7 project car (read on)

Post by brentp »

With the partial demise of our MX5 Miata ChumpCar racer (it suffered significant front end damage from last October's endurance race, see http://www.youtube.com/Autosportlabs#p/ ... 7CJ0KJQp5k ) we're considering using the mechanical bits to fit into a Lotus 7 replica.

Ideally we'd like to adopt someone's incomplete project. Can anyone recommend a good classifieds web site or 'for sale' publication? US or UK- we'd be up to make a trip and ship a chassis back here!

Brent, perhaps you can contact one of the Seven manufacturers. I know sometimes VERY good deals get made between vendors for a little mutual advertising. Maybe?

Hi Brent,

If right-handed is not a problem (could still be converted depending on the state of built) UK might be the cheapest way by far. Some links ->

All sorts of Kitcars, mostly 7-type:

Car sales section of the Westfield board:

Big classifieds offer on one of the most known sites:

Cheers.
