As a racer it is an extremely forgiving car and due to H.P. is very easily throttle steered (it loves the tail hung out). It is not your usual historic Lotus 7 racecar, other than safety items like fuel cell, beefed up roll bar, modern rad, it is 'period correct' NO rod ends, electronic ign., limited slip or any of the other crap they seem to add to historic racing 7's these days. A complete riot to drive and capable of lap times that would rival some historic FF's.

I have never found the frame# and am reticent to scrape the paint to find it. Tag is SB-1626 and since I've met or spoken to all (6) owners but one, I know the car is genuine. It arrived with the original owner in Canada around '64. It was a combination road/race car in merry old. Once here it became a race car full time and has been around southern Ontario ever since.

Quite a few years ago it was converted to S 7 specs. pre-crossflow Cosworth 1500, disc brakes. I added dry sump and steel crank after destroying an engine at Waterford in '97. It will get out to play 3 or 4 times each year to extend its life.
