Reluctantly selling my prized first Ubuilt replica Lotus 7. Vehicle registered in Vancouver, B.C. as a home build.
I used my old 1974 MGB for the drivetrain but everything else is new or custom made. I'm selling because I don't have room for my toys any more as I'm at that time of life where I'm downsizing and have too much stuff. This car up until 3 years ago was used used regularly in Summer time for car shows and driving fun but work, other projects, downsizing mean I have to let go. Car's in great shape but last winter I started to modify the nosecone from my own home made one which is in some photos to a factory Caterham one. Same goes for the hood. The old pieces come with the car if you want them. There is also weather equipment, soft top and sidescreens from a Westfield that are included in the selling price but I haven't modified them to fit yet. There is a small oil leak from the gearbox which is due to it standing for the last few years but otherwise everything works fine. I will help with shipping if necessary, vehicle is in Vancouver and driveable. Payment in full via PayPal or bankers order/draft/certified cheque to my bank account. Vehicle sold as is but represented honestly. On 29-Mar-14 at 09:18:46 EDT, seller added the following information: Car will sell to the US. For some reason I can't undo "will sell to Canada only". Apologies for any confusion. On 29-Mar-14 at 11:33:37 EDT, seller added the following information: I've added photos from the last time I had the car on the road. These are from the All British Field Meet at Van Deuseb Gardens Vancouver, May 2011 |

Buying a Lotus sports car now comes with an added perk - you get a peek behind the curtain at the famous factory in Hethel, England.
Recap: 2013 Spanish Grand Prix is Catalan for 'Lottery' and 'More pit stops'
Tue, 14 May 2013This year's Formula One season might qualify as being just as crazy as last year's, only it's a different kind of crazy. Instead of a new winner every Sunday, how the winner actually manages to take the victory is the mystery, and just when we thought the season might have settled into a groove regarding team performance, here comes the Spanish Grand Prix to remind us that we don't know anything until the race has been run.
There were many similarities to past weekends to being this one: Mercedes-AMG Petronas showed awesome one-lap pace, Fernando Alonso did well enough in qualifying to get fifth on the grid but talked up the race pace of the Ferrari, Kimi Räikkönen was the equivalent of a racing photobomber, never saying much but always showing up in the picture, Felipe Massa wasn't really big on the tires and McLaren might want to consider starting a blues band they spend so much time singing them.
Then the lights went green and things went nuts...
Lotus to receive $16M government grant
Mon, 25 Nov 2013Troubled British automaker Lotus is getting a second infusion of cash following a 100-million-pound ($161.5-million) investment by its parent company DRB-Hicom that was made in August. The substantially smaller investment, a mere 10 million pounds ($16.2 million), comes from the British government's Regional Growth Fund.
The fund, which is part of a 3-billion-pound ($4.8-billion) fund to spur economic growth in the UK, will allow Lotus to invest even further in research and development as it seeks to reinvent its lineup of lightweight sports cars. The fund will also allow the UK-based outfit to provide further training for its new crop of employees.
"This grant is part of a wider strategy for Lotus created to ensure we thrive and grow. We are responding to increased global demand for our cars and engineering consultancy services and this grant will help to position Lotus as the forefront of global automotive innovation," said Aslam Farikullah (shown above with UK Business Secretary Vince Cable MP), the chief operating officer at Lotus.
