Sorry I can't help with the plans... 
But the first Lotus 7 was in 1957 -ish. I 'don't think' that the Spitfire was out then, but I seem to recall Triumph Herald bits were
used...
that is really the same, as the Spitfire was a derivative of the Herald.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
