Spotted a red seven type car on the roundabout at the bottom of the polegate bypass and also went to look and a series 3 landrover and saw this (sorry about the big pic):

Lotus seven
Lotus seven


Is it an original seven?

IIRC Caterham (or more accurately) Arch Motors would sell original spec S1 chassis to repair cars with terminal rust.

So it's probably original as far as the law concerned.

You gotta love those stone catching velocity stacks just waiting to suck in grannies and small children from the pavements!
