Got to admit the RAC site is a bit limitied with its info but can be handy,it seems to throw up all Q plates and pre reg birthdays as jan 2001 which
is strange.
Also reads the lotus is blue.

What a waste of money. You can build 3 or 4 Locosts with that kind of money. People sure are daft!

It's not about the car, it's about people having the 'bragging' rights to say...
"Oooh don't you know, I own an original Lotus 7 blah, blah, blah..."
well good luck to them, for £14k - I'd rather have my car, my BMW and a good holiday with the lads - looking at t*ts and drinking beer!

If you want to see really insane prices try to buy a real AC cobra.
(hint)
Even a decent copy is going to be more than £15k.
The originals are always going to, rightly, get a higher price than replicas and lookalikes.
Each to their own, a replica 7/cobra goes better is likely to be more reliable and will be cheaper but it's a completely different hobby.

I beleive it was an A35 or Minor engine, the frogeye spec engine was in the S2 version for american export.
oops also in S1 but exports had twin carbs
Anorak or what!

I don't think you quite grasp this. That IS a classic car (pre-1960, though it sounds like it's registered later than that). It's not a
Caterham (which is based on a Lotus S3), it's an original Lotus S1!
A Swedish friend of mine has a mint S1, and brings it to the UK every year to blat around the countryside for a long weekend with a collection of
other 7's (Caterham's, Westie's, Sylva's, Fisher's etc.) and nothing stops him coming! All the panels are original ali!
Ooooh, here's a pic...
I bet once restored you could get at least three times that for it!
