Lotus Seven (replica?) identification request

[JagJob]

Hi,

Can somebody help me identify the cars in these photos? Both took part in an event in France.

No. 1: IDENTIFIED as a Caterham!




No. 2: IDENTIFIED as a Robin Hood S7!


Many thanks!
Best, Job

No 2 is a Robin Hood if that helps.

No. 1 looks like the real thing.
No. 2 looks very like a Robin Hood to me.

Top one is a Caterham is it not?

[JagJob]

Thanks sofar!

First one, Caterham, genuine Lotus...?

Second one quite convincingly identified as a Robin Hood. They were built from 1989 to somewhere around 2006. I do not know if they changed much during that period?

No definitieve identification for the first one?

Those sidescreens don't look Caterham on car 1. I'm sure the bottom section lifts up in it's entirety ?

Looks just like the side screen I had on mine. 99.9% sure its a caterham. Correct KN alloys and a nasty big Euro spec silencer..

OK and the roof right too. 99.95% now . Certainly I've never seen a copy that good before. The triangle at the base of the screen pillars is something caterham have sucessfully defended as 'theirs' in court.

Many thanks to all of you who contributed!

That 1st one it 100% a caterham, not sure which model but I'm guessing 1980-1990 age, could be the original caterham super7 (lotus twin cam engine) but I'm unsure being a foreign plate ..Oh n the wheels.
