ok i didn't mean the maths problem.
that would have been stated "whats the difference between 6 loci and 7 loci" if my latin is right and also don't confuse this with
the maths systerm called loci
also the right answer would be -1
none the less it did make me laugh

6 had all aluminium bodywork IIRC.
Another cheap answer would be about £10k

IRR the front axle was a swing axle, based on the Ford (Popular?) beam axle.

Caber, I'm pretty sure the Six had a space-frame chassis to Chapman design, made by Progress Engineering. The big difference six v seven is the
front axle which on the Six is transverse cart spring, cut and pivoted in the middle.

so really the difference is very small, its just a front surspension change
so i guess that makes any car with irs the same as what a lotus 8 would have been

The 6 had a split front axle with coil springs, the chassis was narrower than the Sevens, was a space frame, typically powered by a Ford side valve
engine, or an MG XPAG, body was all alloy, was Lotus first real production car.
