Or more seriously a weekend racer, weekday cruiser needing only 10mins with a spanner to switch.

Certainly does remind of times gone by, before the sports brassiere came along.

Looks very good to me, i'm a real fan of traditional layout and styling on a 7. What is it, when was it made ?

Mine was a blue MK Indy when i got it, set up for track days and country lanes. Surprising what a pair of adustable wishbones, a bit of paint and weather gear can do. I dont think most of the Indy crowd would want to talk to me these days.

Judging by the 4 bolt wobbly webs and the narrow rear wings, i would say an S2 Lotus Seven, so made anytime between 1961 and 1968. It looks like there is an air filter just poking through on the LH side of the bonnet, which indicated a non cross flow motor.

Found it on the BBC America website, only info is that its a 1961 Americana series 2.

Your car looks really nice, but where are the wipers?
