How about V12?!?!
would this be possible?
has anyone ever done it before?

It's doable, but as to what it'll look like when done is another matter. Probably not a lot like a "normal" 7.

didn't robin hood do one with a jag v12 many moons ago?

yes, apparently, they did an S3 in 90-91 with jaguar V12

the cobra guys thing a v12 is to heavy in the front of even a dav de-dion so i dont think a v12 seven would be a handful to say the least

The only way you'd ever get it to handle would be to stick the engine in the cockpit & put the seats behind the rear axle!!!
Of course if you put it behind the driver, in the proper place for the engine ...........

I seem to recall aome waggish soul back in the 1970's (hmmm...dating myself, I'm afraid) putting a Jag V-12 into an Austin Mini ....transverse mounted! Apparently it was a terror at the drag strip. Hell, if it'll fit in there, it should go into a Locost with ease!

RH did one for sure; it was up for sale when I was looking for a kit - circa about 1 1/2 years ago; I even considered buying it as ti was going for what I thought was a rasonable price.
