Spotted - Red seven and Lotus!

Spotted a red seven type car on the roundabout at the bottom of the polegate bypass and also went to look and a series 3 landrover and saw this (sorry about the big pic):

Lotus seven
Lotus seven


Is it an original seven?





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

IIRC Caterham (or more accurately) Arch Motors would sell original spec S1 chassis to repair cars with terminal rust.

So it's probably original as far as the law concerned.
