1962 Lotus 7 (seven) Not A Replica on 2040-cars
Old Hickory, Tennessee, United States
|
Frame up rebuild of a 1962 Lotus 7. I've owned this Seven since 1975, almost 40 years. Before the kids came along, I used to auto cross my seven in the Bay Area of California. Once the kids came along I had to put away my hobby until I was afforded the time and money to resurrect her from the ground up. It has always been in the garage, never stored outside. I started the restoration process back in 2008 in my spare time. Just before moving to Tennessee in 2012, I completed my journey to the vehicle you see here today. It was a long tedious process, of which I am proud of, but now it is time to let her go and move on to another project. It will be sad to see her go after all of this time, but I'm sure whoever gets her will enjoy the experience of owning an amazing Lotus Seven. Try not to smile after each ride, I dare you! So, for some more of the specific details. -1968 1.6l Ford Crossflow Engine (less then 50 miles on the fresh rebuild) -Dry Sump -Dual Dellorto Side Draft Carbs -Isky Cam -Ported and Polished Head (Possibly HOLBY modified) -Ford Cosworth Pistons -Lightened Flywheel -Balanced -1968 Cortina GT 4 Speed Transmission (new clutch assembly and hydraulics) -3.89 Ford Cortina GT Rear End with Detroit Locker -New wiring throughout -Original Speedometer (rebuilt) -All other gauges are New Original Type Gauges (Smith) -Electric Tachometer -Tom Robertson Formula Type Suspension (DSK Cars) -New Toyo R888 Tires -American Racing 5 Spoke Aluminum Wheels -Freshly Reupholstered Seats using Original Patterns -3in 4 Point Driver and Passenger Harnesses -Les Leston Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel (right hand drive) -New Dashboard from Original Lotus Material -Original Chassis (reinforced and powder coated) -All New Hand Formed Aluminum Panels -All New Fiberglass Fenders and Nose (late model wide rear fenders) -1968 Aston Martin Goodwood Green and Lotus Yellow Paint Scheme -Original Headlights, Marker Lights, Windgard Taillights For more information please check out www.simplesevens.org/1211/1211.htm Please feel free to contact me and I will get back to you as soon as possible. |

Lotus suing former CEO Bahar over spending on homes, helicopters and watches
Mon, 03 Dec 2012More details have come out about the legal suit and countersuit being contested between Lotus cars owner DRB-Hicom and former CEO of Lotus Dany Bahar. Bahar was brought in by Malaysian car company Proton in 2009 to turn Lotus around, and events during his tenure have made just about everyone wonder "What's going on?" That's not unusual - it can take a minute to figure things out when a new leader takes everything in a new direction - but in this case the clouds didn't clear quickly enough.
When the Malaysian government sold Proton to Malaysian auto supplier DRB-Hicom earlier this year, a forensic accounting team from Ernst & Young and The Rothschild Group started going over the books. Not long after, Bahar was suspended in June from his position and then fired. In his countersuit against DRB-Hicom, claims of lavish spending began to surface. Then the stories and leaks and rumors really began, the UK's Financial Mail reporting on more than one million pounds spent on private flights and home renovations, the New Zealand Herald talking about other executives sacked so that DRB could rearrange a 270-million-pound bank loan to Lotus, and rumors on forums about Bahar flying from his home in Norfolk to Hethel HQ and spending 30,000 pounds on motorsports books for his office.
In the latest Bloomberg report it is said that DRB-Hicom seeks 2.5 million pounds ($4 million US) from Bahar "for unauthorized expenses and overpaid salary and bonuses," including the purported expense of 3,000 pounds on watches for company managers. DRB-Hicom also says Bahar made damaging statements to the media, on top of breaching his contractual duties. Bahar's countersuit seeks $10.6 million from DRB-Hicom.
Former CEO Bahar files $10.6M suit against Lotus
Mon, 27 Aug 2012File this one under "not surprising in the least." Fired Lotus CEO Dany Bahar is reportedly suing his former employers for some $10.6 million, claiming that the automaker and its Malaysian owner, DRB, broke the law when they dismissed him. According to a report by Bloomberg Businessweek, DRB and Lotus will defend themselves in court rather than settling, including filing a countersuit against the former top executive.
Bahar, 40, was canned on June 7, about two weeks after Lotus suspended him pending an investigation into his conduct. The report cites a Kuala Lumpur stock exchange filing as its source of the information; the filing also indicates that DRB has decided against selling Lotus, despite continuing losses.
The Stig breaks into Lotus F1 HQ
Mon, 16 Jun 2014As Top Gear's mysterious test driver, The Stig has driven just about everything on wheels - and more than a few things without. But an F1 car? That still remains a rarity, even on Top Gear.
That all changes in this latest promo clip, though. The video shows what happened when his Royal Stigness arrived at the headquarters of the Lotus F1 team in Enstone, England, where he somehow managed to scan his way in past security and got his hands on a Lotus-Renault E21, the V8-powered single-seater that Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean drove in the 2013 Formula One World Championship - and which the Stig will apparently be driving on stage during the upcoming Top Gear Festival in Durban. If you're not heading to South Africa this month, though (or even if you are), you can check out the footage in the video below.
