Dunno what it is, but as you say- Lotus it ain't. Central handbrake for a start.

Yeah, that plus the weird tunnel, the weird bulkhead etc... I'm no expert but it looks like there are a few "proper" parts but essentially I'm stumped...

Is it possibly a pre-lit westfield?? I belive westfield did a pretty good copy of the 7 before caterham sued them over it.

That's what my bet is on, look at this pre-lit Westy (namely the handbrake):

I'm not convinced... Didn't the westies have moulded rear wings / body...?

I was going to say I didn't think it's a westie based on looking at some of these links:
http://www.rarity.freeserve.co.uk/Conversion.htm
http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/pictures/319/Westf...

But then I came across this

Which in itself is not the same but makes me wonder if the car in question is not some sort of bdisation...??

The car is now sold.
Did someone pay for a Lotus, but it is something else? It is listed as a 1967
