1979 Lotus – Steelbro Super 7 – 3051 / Lotus twincam engine nr. 32559.

Drivetrain – Equipped with the lovely Ford Lotus twin cam 1600cc w/ Weber carburetors delivering approx. 128hp. 4-speed manual transmission; live rear axle.

Interior – excellent shape – seats / carpets / dash / gauges all fantastic shape.

Body – lovely condition with nice workmanship on the bare aluminum panels on the cowl and rear of the cockpit contrasting nicely with the green cycle fenders and caps.

History: in 1973 assembly of the Super 7 moved from Lotus to two constructors – Caterham in the UK & Steelbro (Steel Brothers) in New Zealand. As the stock of Lotus-produced chassis was exhausted an agreement was reached between Lotus and Caterham allowed Caterham to produce new cars under license. This particular car is amongst the last original LOTUS 7 constructed (e.g. Lotus chassis and engine).

Service Summer, 2025: lithium battery / tires / spark-plugs / shift bushings / brakes

Great value for a very usable classic.
