I didn't realize that the early Lotus 7 came with the BMC A-series. The eBay car looks like a lot of fun.

I'd be a little leery of this one - says the ID plate's
been replaced with a later one (now there are 2 of these?),
and it'd be nice if it had original plates on it.

Couldn't afford it anyways -- nice looking though. Sevens are a personal favorite, right up there in my personal pantheon with the MG TC.

Before purchasing my Elan, I had committed to buy a 61 7 America, which was also BMC powered. It was a RHD, ex- autocross car. I have some pics here, but my scanner is apparently kaput,

I was all set to buy, pending some repairs being finished, but upon completion, the owner decided he wanted more money.
I told him no deal, albeit not quite in those words.

It all worked out in the end.

That's true, but it sure is cool when sitting in the car, to be able to put your hand flat on the ground!!
