The story of Lotus S2 Super Seven SB 1374 as I have been told by the former owners. The car was sold in the spring/summer of 1962 to Mr Lukats who picked it up at the factory and brought to Sweden where it was registered with the help of two different dealers. It was sold with 1340cc engine, fully asembled and painted in Scottish Blue. It was delivered without indicators and tachometer. SB 1374 was probably the first Seven to be sold to Sweden. Mr Lukats drove the car only for a short while and after a trip of about 250 km with his girlfriend to his parents he was forced to sell the car. Poor chap. The car was sold to Mr Holgersson via a new dealer. Mr H. used the car for 1.5 years and remembers that the car as very fast and fun to drive. When he moved abroad he sold the car to Mr Ekström. Mr Ekström drove the car for some years in the sixties. He also used the car for club racing (See the pictures from Roskilde Ring in Denmark.) He also had the nosecone painted yellow so it would be easier to spot in traffic though later the car was painted British Racing Green as he wanted a English sportscar to be BRG. Pictures from Roskilde Ring in Denmark early 60s.    SB1376 is currently owned by Ronny Andersson Sweden. SB1374 is the car with round rear view mirror.     Next owner was the late Mr Cederqvist and now it gets difficult to follow the modifications of the car. I have been in contact with next owner Mr Eliasson, but he can't remember so much of the car as he owned several other Sevens. He thinks SB 1374 was much lighter then the other he had owned but I can't find any reason for this feeling. Mr Breste was the next owner. There are some photos from his time as owner. It's possible to spot some changes as wide live axle, S3 rear wings, yellow paint and that the Springhall is missing. He also told me that the car has had Alfa Twin-cam but it can't be confirmed (When I bought the car, it had a 1600 x-flow engine.) Much has happened to the car but no one wants tell me about his "improvements". Next owner Mr Rehn owned the car for eight years but still hadn't much to tell me of the car. When next owner Mr Berndtsson got hold of the car, he started to rebuild it. He made a nice job of the body and frame with help from Mr Bergqvist, owner of SB 1952, but he kept the wide stuff and x-flow. When I bought the car it looked nice. With my intention to get as close as possible to the original this was made by removing and selling wide things, adding narrow and light things. Some of the body and most of the frame is still the original (without bracing). Today I am halfway there in my way of thinking. I will try to make the car as it looked in the early sixties. Today the car has got a braced Standard axle with 4.11 diff, I have the 4,55 in stock. It has 3,5" wheel, 145x13 Dunlop tyres and narrow 7,5" rear wings. The front wings are still the original type. It is back to it's dark (Scottish) blue but with yellow nose. I will keep the aeroscreens, external petrol cap and racing mirror as this where added in early sixties (see photos.) I will also keep the disc brakes and indicators for safety reasons. Next project is to find an old 109E unit and rebuild it to Cosworth specification. I think 109E was the original type of engine as the car was built before 116E was announced from Ford. I have now also found a Springhall steering wheel and this improves the old feeling of the interior.
