I don't like it!

The carpets aren't right in a 7 (I would bet Colin Chapman would never have put them in!), and the wheels don't loom right either.

Nicely kept, but I wouldn't say it's worth the money because it's not entirely original.

I have a friend with an original 7 of roughly the same year, but it's been fitted with a blade engine (not original, but I reckon it's what Chapman would have done if the cars were still being produced by him).

No, Chapman would have got real & up to date & produced what I have.
Well ..............Maybe
Anyone want to offer me £18k for mine, it's completely original, it has to be there's only one at the moment!

ive gotta say a lot of the relicas look a lot better than the real things! shame, it should always be the other way round.

"new Chassis in 1984" brings to mind the old saying about the axe and the handle....

Is that LPG in the rear?

And this scares me:

So, I take it that you have never seen a series 4 lotus 7 ??

It had carpets, what would Colin Chapman have said to that ?? tut tut

With respect to the wheels, what other car were they fitted to as an optional extra?

Thaaaaats right, the Skoda Estelle ii ! I know cos I 'ad one

Take a dekko at the piccie of the bootbox, you can see that the roll-over bar rear bracing bars are fixed to the edge of the boot! That'll deform nicely in a rollover!
