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.
