Best looking '7' style cars??
Discussion
.
I like the Rush but I also think this polished aluminium Locost looks fantastic, builder is Trev D on www.locostbuilders.co.uk:
Surely 'best looking Seven' is an oxymoron - they're the ultimate expression of function over form?
...in which case for 'most appropriate design', I think I'd have to nominate the Sylva Striker; minimum size, weight and frontal area to do the job, one piece bonnet (on the original cars) for maximum mechanical accessibility, raked screen and inboard suspension for what little aerodynamic benefit you can hope to achieve with this sort of car.

Interesting point, though I must confess that I always thought the Striker looked a little awkward (despite being a fan of JP's designs generally)....in which case for 'most appropriate design', I think I'd have to nominate the Sylva Striker; minimum size, weight and frontal area to do the job, one piece bonnet (on the original cars) for maximum mechanical accessibility, raked screen and inboard suspension for what little aerodynamic benefit you can hope to achieve with this sort of car.
But I do have to say. COME ON PEOPLE - THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME!!!!!!!! (Somebody had to say it!
)That's the point, isn't it? It's all rather like playing Spot the Difference!
On a slightly more serious note, aren't most of the differences between the cars at least as much to do with the individual build, rather than the inherent design features of each car?

If it counts as a 7 style car, I'd also nominate the Toniq R, especially the original one with the light pods. I'm not 100% sure on the Mk2 with the faired in lights though. Saying that, I can't find many pictures of the new one.
Im with the Tonique too, best looking 7-a-like by a country mile, maybe thats just because it is different though. Other than that im With the Dax Rush Gassing Station | Kit Cars | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
