~-ie Lotus Seven grew out of Mr. Colin;-iapman's sporting interest in the AustinSevens, and was a direct development of•-9 Lotus MK. VI. The early layout had sim-: e body panels attached to a sturdy space--ame, motorcycle type fenders and little;-otection from inclement weather.E-gland, during the late 1950's, required a-eavy purchase tax on all new cars. A fac-"'y built Seven would cost 1,036 IbsS2900.00) of which 346lbs ($968.00) was:ax. Chapman decided to take advantager the tax rule and offer a comprehensive• : which could be assembled in a short• -ie without any special tools. This meant•-at a sports car enthusiast could obtain a• ery high performance vehicle for a cost of:- y 526lbs ($1472.00). It is a real credit to•-e designers that after a period of 25.ears, the car is still available in kit form,a-d is still being built, driven.and cherish-ec by sports car enthusiasts around the*orld. The Lotus Super Seven is powered:. a Ford Cosworth 4 cylinder 1.3 liter en-: -e using two dual throated Weber car-r.retors, which produces 83 BMP at 6,000= =M. This engine transmits its power•-'ough a four speed gearbox providing a•:c speed, at 6,000 RPM, of a little more•-an l60kMh. Front suspension is an in-:5Dendent wishbone using helical coilsa~d anti roll bar. Steering is a very tight

rack and pinion system that is quiteresponsive. Brakes are of the drum type,simple, positive and effective. Rear wheelsare mounted on a rigid axle and damped bylarge coil springs.The Lotus Super Seven is a true sports carwith few creature comforts. If you are look-ing for a smooth ride in luxurious comfortthe Lotus Seven is not for you. If you arelooking for phenomenal performance,economical operation and pure fun, thenthis car will do that, and more. Used by carclubs for racing events, it has won morethan its share of honors, and will go on towin even more. Light in weight and withmore than enough power, plus the superbroad handling it is by far the finest kit formautomobile you could obtain.

Colin Chapman hatte grosses sportliches In-

teresse an den Austin Seven's und daraus ent-

stand dann der Lotus Mk. VII. Die erste

Ausfiihrung hatte eine einfache Karosserie auf

einem robusten Gitterrohrrahmen, Schutz-

bleche wie ein Motorrad, sowie einen kleinen

Schutz vor rauhem Wetter. Cegen Ende der

50er Jahre verlangte England eine sehr hohe

Verkaufssteuer fur alle neue Wagen. Ein

fabrikproduzierter Seven kostete ca 2900.00

Dollar, die Steuer betrug dann darauf

nochmals 968.00 Dollar. Chapman fand aus

den Steuervorschriften heraus, dass ein Auto im

Selbst-Baukasten-Prinzip, welches ohne

Spezialwerkzeuge zu einem Wagen mit grosser

Leistung zusammengebaut werden konnte, urn

1472.00 Dollar verkauft werden kann. Er-

staunlich ist, dass diesen Baukasten auch

heute, nach rund 25 Jahren immer noch von

vielen Sportwagen-Fans gekauft, gebaut,

gefahren und heiss geliebt wird. Der Lotus

Super Seven hat einen Ford Cosworth 4

Zylinder Motor mit 1,3 Liter, zwei Weber-

Doppelvergaser und bringt 83 BHP bei 6000

RPM. Mit einem Viergang-Cetriebe geht der

Tacho auf uber 160km/h. Die Vorderradauf-

hangung hat unabhangigeQuerlenkerarme mit

Schraubenfedern und Stabilisatoren. Die

Steuerung geht uber eine sehr stramme

Zahnstange und ist ziemlich direkt. Als

Bremsen gibt es Trommelbremsen, welche sehr

zuverlassig sind, die Hinterrader sind an einer

starren Achse montiert, haben grosse

Schraubenfedern als Stossdampfer. Der Lotus

Super Seven ist ein richtiger sportwagen, wenig

Komfort, aber eine grosse Leistung ausserdem

sehr wirtschaftlich und macht viel Spass beim

Fahren. Mit leichtem Gewicht und grosser Kraft

bei bester Strassenlage diirfte dieser Auto-Kit

im Masstab 1:1 bei weitem das Beste sein, was

man bekommen kann.
