So i have a for sale is a 1957 Lotus 7 Replica Also known as a Locost 7.
This is not a kitcar but built completely from scratch frame, body panels & all built off the Colin Chapman design.
Long story short it was originally built in around 07? I got it in 2012 & rebuilt alot of the car.

It has 1990 Mazda miata 1.6L motor
1990 miata 6 speed trans
Old toyota corna Suspension & brakes (not sure year)
running a MegaSquirt PNP ecu
Willwood pedal box
Kirkey Racing seats
corbeau race harness
Speedhut Gauges
Aerodynamix wind screen
Coolant reroute kit
Innovate lc-2 air fuel gauge
Ecliptech RPM shift light
Caterham rear deck cover
Speedway motors 2:1 steering Quickner
Detachable steering wheel.
Eg civic radiator
keyless push start
It only weighs 1350lbs

This car is absolute blast to drive puts a smile on my face every time.
Turns heads & starts a conversation everywhere i go.
It has classic styling but with a somewhat Modern drivetrain which makes it easy to work on & to find parts for.
This is perfect weekend cruiser or Cars N coffee car.
It is Street legal & Antique tag eligible

She is far from perfect & has a old Patina look to her.
It doesn't have a top, heat or AC
The seats are only 15 inch wide so it is limited to smaller bite size ppl (im 5'7 145 lbs with 32" waist) I designed it for me but bigger ppl have driven it And the seat can can be mounted about 5in farther back.
Despite her small motor she can be a hand full.

I am Selling because i just don't drive her as much as i should due to having alot of other projects but i am not in a Spot where i have to sale it so No Low ballers tire kickers.
I am mostly looking for Cash offers but would Consider Some Trades for Either a Honda S2000 or a Old Datsun Z car or maybe a Corvette or Porsche

Serous buyers only & will only let ppl with the $ to drive.
If you need you parents permission this car is not for you.
$14,000
