Lovely car, but doesn't having front cycle wings like that make the car more dangerous to pedestrians rather than less!!!

the wings seem a lot lower on this 1958 one, perhaps the builder didn't read the instructions fully
this looks like the kit its built from, though the seats different the nose cone and skuttle is alloy

Early Series 1 Lotus Sevens had cycle wings that didn't move with the suspension/wheels. Hence the massive gap.
This changed quite quickly and that explains why Mr Whippys photo shows a similar car with a smaller gap

I am lucky enough to live 5 mins from Caterham where there is a showroom and in the back are some early examples that are even pre or just post 7. Full bodied and all ally. Nice!
Sorry Mr Lotus 7 - it seems the copies are now rather better than the originals?
( Just an opinion! )
And It would never pass the SVA !

I spent last weekend at Cadwell, where a mate of mine races a Series 2 Lotus 7 in the HSCC.
He came 4th.
Lotus 7 Series 2
The front wings are fixed dead ahead.

Think its the same car I saw at Croft 06 Mike, plus another similar one.
Dont think the original had a red line of 7500 rpm!
