GTS W7DE kit was built during 2005-2007 and SVA'd in April 2007. 2400 miles on an engine that has done only c.56,000 since new. The previous owner was a Lotus F1 technicial who has ensured it was well built and fettled and originally built but Nathan on the site. I looked at about 9 kits before I bought this one, it just feels more solid, better put together and visually nicer, as well as being a wider and more comfortable Lotus Seven copy.
The W7DE is a wide cockpit version of the GTS Panther and is ideal for people who want a little more comfort. Cockpit is 19" wide making it one of the widest on the market, you also get a full sized pedal box so if like me you have large feet, you can wear any shoes you like. Really comfortable too, really!
The frame was made for GTS by Titon who are renowned welders and looks great with very neat strong welds.
Car is running a 2L 8v DOHC from a Sierra XR4x4 with the original fuel injection. It has never failed to start first time. It is still pretty economical in a car this light and still outruns most cars on the road. Realiable power and weighs c.670kgs. MT75 Cosworth Gearbox with recent clutch and sierra diff.
