help identify 7

Hi all, just joined few days. Found a 7 that has been in storage for last 12 years, bought it and got it home. Car is in great nick, was dry stored on blocks and covered. Sorted battery, oil, brakes etc and got it running.
Stripped out dash to sort indicators and lights, turned out to be bad earths.
Car has a xflow 1300, trying to identify the kit, is there any tips that would help ?
Thanks for any help

The question you pose at the minute without any picture is a "how deep is this hole question" need pictures of the car, the suspension set up etc to help narrow the kits down.

Think about it, think about it again and then do it.

What is the chassis number, that normally gives a clue (should be on the v5).

Definitely either a Caterham R500 or a Dutton Melos.

I also think it may be a locust, clam shell arches, nose shape and cockpit sides around rear wheels. Here is another example, note the similarity. What does the v5 say it is?
