- Here is a detailed view of my Lotus 7. It show a complete exterior walk around and detailed shots of the interior along with an engine start and the views and sounds of the engine running.
I had a Series 2 from 1971 to 1975. (originally constructed in 1962), the aluminium on yours looks like stainless, mine never ever looked that good. Mine was the same colour scheme, with a black interior. Started life as the America version, with BMC engine ended up with the twin cm engine fitted. Luckily never broke the diff. Sold it to get married ,loved, and still love that car. (Still love my wife), Never mind. Who knows, perhaps it is still out there LBJ 274. Very nice video well done to whoever made it.
Thank you for the kind words. I guess I'm hooked on 7s. I've owned four and have now have one I've owned 3 different times.😀
Will always regret selling that car.Rarely ever see them on British roads these days. even Caterhams.@@FolsomDann
Love the interior, classic.
Cool Dan, it's time to take the bonnet back to the bondo heaven (Wion's) and get touched up. Kim&Stef.
Hi you two. Great to hear from you. Hope all is well. I sold this car last year but currently have a newer 7 (Caterham) Wishing you the best in 2021.
... Coolio!! ;-)
Very nice. Would have been useful to have some information about the engine build. For example, is it bog-standard or is it modified and if so, to what extent.
Hi. Thanks for your comment. The engine is a 1275 BMC pretty much stock with a mild cam. With a car that weighs less than 1200 pounds it scooted around quite nicely. I no longer own it.
@@FolsomDann Should be about 65 bhp, so nearly 120 bhp/ tonne. Should have similar performance to an MGB V8 or a (US spec) Triumph TR6.
Great video 👍👍can’t believe you’ve not got more views great video 😄I’ve restored a replica Lotus 7 on my PetrolDiaries RUclips channel. I’m hopeful to buy the real thing to sit alongside my Lotus Type 23🍻
Thanks for the comments. The two videos were made to add to my Bring-a-Trailer listing for the car. That probably accounts for the views. Both were very quickly done. I'v watched a couple of your videos as well and am impressed. Great job on the cars and very good production of the videos. Keep up the good work. Incidentally, the car sold and is heading to the Caribbean.
@@FolsomDann Thanks Dann its sad when these cars sell, but you've still got the memories!!!!
@@petroldiaries6769 A year out I regret selling the car. I ended up purchasing a Caterham. But I do miss the Lotus.
@@FolsomDann I've just taken the plunge and bought a Lotus 7 series 4 to play with over lock down, all the best buddy !!!!
@@petroldiaries6769 You'll have a lot of fun with it. Twin cam?
Hi what are the two chrome knobs on the dash either side of the tachometer
Those are little post lights to illuminate the instruments in front of the steering wheel.
@@FolsomDann thank you
I wish. I really wish. But I'm on my second electric car ( Zoe now Kia) but I still, did I say, really wish.
