My Lotus 7 S4

[porka951]

Never the most popular of 7's but they do have some real plus points. (me being 6'2" and 15 1/2 stone, extra space is the main one!)
Owned by my Father since 1990 and me since June this year, it underwent a full nut & bolt re-build over '91-'92 by us. Chassis repaired and painted, front suspension componants powdercoated. Engine, gearbox and back axle were left origional and untouched until the late '90's when an oil supply problem at Goodwood did the big ends. Plans for the future, twin 40's and maybe change the wheels from yellow back to black.
This is the oldest surviving S4 and the second customer chassis produced.

Lovely. Is it a Twincam or a Crossflow?
Interesting it's one of the first chassis, good to see it getting the love it deserves. My dad nearly bought one of these last year for racing because they are doing very well in <'72 sportscars

It's a crossflow. Still in origional GT spec (apart from 1300 pistons to up the compression and some mild head work). I'd love to get into a little racing but I think this car is too good. It's been on quite a few track days though.

Love it!

I quite like the different back end on the S4s, yours looks great! My dad thought about one for HSCC 70's roadsports as they're cheaper than normal 7s for some reason

And it's small enough to fit in the garage!!!! Had a Porsche 944 turbo before, that had to stay out on the drive.
