Welcome to my Lotus 7 Replica Blog

I intend to use this blog to show the various stages as I rebuild an old Lotus 7 replica from a bit of a mess to something respectable.


Along the way i'll detail the procedures required and hopefully inspire others to do similar.

Car has now been sold

Well it had to come to an end sometime.
The car has been sold to a fellow enthusiast, Mathew.
He has a few plans to change the way the car looks and I'm sure he will enjoy every moment of it.
I had a great time building the car and modifying it, but all good things must come to an end.
I've decided to get back into Motorcycles with the money from the Lotus 7 buying me a very good condition Ducati 996.

Driving!

Due to the great weather recently I've managed to get a lot of driving in!
Over the last few weeks I've managed to do my daily commute to work (approx. 30km) in the 7.
Its given me a good chance to get re-acquainted with the handling and performance.
I love the way its so direct and can be flung sideways with a flick of the wrist and a bootful of throttle.
