$17,500.00

This is a Lotus Seven I have restored. The car was very complete however very rough. I think we striped off nine coats of paint. Lots of bondo. I have a friend who led the effort in the restoration and with my labor he directed me and his son. The man has a body shop and very talented in all areas. The motor was a mess. We removed it and took it apart . Another friend checked out all the parts and replaced what was bad. Transmission was removed and checked out. Anything that could be removed was. Cleaned up, replaced etc. The restoration took about 3 years. Work on weekends mostly. It was very intense. I have a photo history of the step by step take down and the rebuild.

It was a race car in Southern California in the mid 60's. Held track records in F Production for many years. I was told that the car was very competitive. A man by the name of Chuck Billington was the owner and racer. The car is very original.

Although the the early pictures do show one, there was no roll bar on the when I got it. The main bar is bolted on to the top support towers and the thin bars are attached to the rear frame. 

The only evidence of the roll bar was the small thin bars coming off the rear compartment, cut loose of the rear top frame and bent at an angle. I used them to connect the rear support bars.
