I worked on a Super 7 in 1966 and 1967. The kit was delivered to Lee Talbot in Hong Kong in 1964. It may have been consigned to a dealer there. It was asssembled by "a whole bunch of Chinese mechanics". Lee raced it in the Malaysian and Singapore GP's before shipping it to the United States in early 1966. I met him and his wife Marty at the Marboro, MD race track Memorial Day, 1966. I crewed for him in the 66 and 67 seasons, running SCCA Nationals and Regionals in the Northeast.

We sold the car to someone from Michigan in November, 1967, having decided to shift to Formula Vee because maintainence on the Lotus was taking too much time: 40 hours between races when nothing broke (itself a little uncommon). However, we did 26 races in those two seasons with only 1 DNF. Neither of us remembers the name of the buyer, and while I have a copy of a 7 page letter I wrote him about how to operate and maintain the car, it doesn't contain his name. By any chance would any of your net know the car's whereabouts? It was right hand drive but I don't remember any other distinctive features. When last seen it had a 1500 engine with a single 40 DCOE - the only SCCA legal setup at the time - but the second Weber and both manifolds went with it. Obviously we don't have a serial number, either.

Any information anyone might have would be gratefully appreciated. I'd be glad to share the 1967 letter with anyone who might be interested. [the mentioned letter will be posted to thi site before long, pending approval]
