Vehicle description
Due to health issues, I am selling my "built-from-scratch" Lotus Super 7 replica. I started building this car in September 2012 and worked pretty much 40 hours per week for over a year until it was registered, titled and tagged in Orlando in November 2013. In Florida, the title is listed as "Assembled From Parts" and it is insured through Geico"s Collector Auto Insurance. I figure I have as many as 2000 hours invested in this quality build. The Super 7 has been garage kept since the beginning of construction. It runs, sounds, drives and looks great!
This car is amazingly fun to drive and attracts a lot of attention. Like the original Lotus Super 7s in the late 1950s, I built the car right-hand-drive. I am 6"5" tall and 210 pounds and I built it to fit me, so it has great leg room. The seats are 15" UltraShield Spec Miata racing seats and the driver’s seat has has a 9" slider, so shorter drivers can drive it. (My wife is 5"6" and it also fits her fine.) It does not have a top, side windows, A/C, heater, wipers or a radio.
With only 2000 miles since the build, the car is powered by a 1993 Mazda 1.6 Miata motor with the matching 5-speed transmission, rear suspension and front spindles. Except for the drivetrain, I used all new parts during construction. A few items used in construction include:
• Wilwood Clutch and Brake Master Cylinder assembly
• VDO "Vision Black" Gauges
• Fiberglass fenders, nose and scuttle from Kinetic Vehicles
• Aluminum body panels are .063 3003 H14 (inside and out) and the floorboards are 16 gauge steel.
• 5 Hankook Ventus V2 Concept 205/50R-15 tires mounted on 5 black Konig 15 x 7.5 "Lightspeed" wheels
• G-Force Racing Harnesses
• KTM front turn signals with Caterham rear turn signal and brake lights
• New timing belt, water pump, idler & tensioner, crank gear, cam & crank seals, valve cover gasket and alternator
• Custom-built headers and exhaust
I have run the car on the Robeling Road racetrack in Savannah, GA with the local Porsche Club and have autocrossed it twice. It"s very quick, runs and handles great! Weighing in at 1350 pounds, it"s basically a street-legal go cart!
Clear title in hand. Contact me if you have specific questions. Buyer agrees to pick up or arrange for shipping.
PLEASE NOTE: This car"s Florida VIN number is FLA66374 (see photo.) For some reason, eBay would not permit me to use the actual Florida VIN number, so the VIN number I had to use to place this ad is the VIN number for the Miata"s engine and transmission (JM1NA3519P0410697.)
