Equipment
RHD. 1,498/100+hp 116 engine, dual Weber carburetors, 4-speed, 8-spoke alloy wheels, Dunlop tires, roll bar, 5-point belts, Plexiglas windscreens, Penske coilovers, fuel cell.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Good paint but stone chipped rear fenders, otherwise pristine. The first car from the James Messenger estate collection with the consistently exceptional presentation and better mechanical and technical execution that is typical of the Messenger cars. This may not be a factory Super Seven, but it is in better fettle than a Seven ever left Hethel.
Market commentary
This is bargain Caterham money for a real Lotus Seven, modifications even considered. The workmanship and preparation of this little rocket are above reproach and it couldn’t be duplicated for this price even if the Seven was free.
