1967 Lotus Super 7

Description

Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to offer a very unique 1967 Lotus Super 7 Series 3. This is a Westfield 1 kit which was built in 1999 and has a clean Illinois title as a 1999 special construction. The beating heart of this track killer is a 1,700cc Inline 4 cylinder Formula Ford engine built to Super Sprint specs by Andreson. The 1700 features dual side draft Weber carburetors and a free flowing exhaust which allows for 160 HP. The power to weight ratio is incredible when you consider this one is 900 pounds wet without a driver. This vehicle really is like a street legal go cart and is an absolute terror on a race track. Backing the 1700 is a Quaif 5 speed manual close ratio gearbox which has short throws and is very precise. Other track oriented goodies include: dry sump oil system, oil cooler and thermostat, 8 gallon custom fuel tank with foam baffling, 4 wheel disk brakes with adjustable brake bias, aluminum radiator with electric fan, and 5 point safety harness. If you wanted something you could hop in on a Saturday morning, drive to your local track day or autocross event, and then drive home, this is the one. You'll be putting 911s, MX-5s, and STIs to shame in this street legal race car. The car is finished in a classic coat of yellow which really fits the Lotus body. The dash, interior panels, mirrors, and other bits are carbon fiber. The seats are upholstered in green to complete the Lotus color scheme and are a comfortable yet snug place to sit. There are side curtains and a convertible top which can be used when you're caught in a drizzle, but this car is best enjoyed topless. It's great on the track, but will also catch plenty of looks darting in and out of traffic around town. The car has just over 4,500 miles since being built and is ready for a new enthusiast to take ownership. Located in our St. Louis Showroom, this 1967 Lotus Super 7 can be seen including 50+ HD pictures and video at www.GatewayClassicCars.com.
