1962 Lotus Seven Series 2 Chassis No. SB1211

Description for Lotus Super Seven 1962

I am the second owner of this Seven since 1973 and am selling due to my increasingly inflexible 70 year old body. It is right hand drive. Complete rebuild of SB1211 started in 2012 and took about 2 years. I purchased it in the Spring of 2014 and, ince it was rebuilt with autocross/solo 2 in mind, made changes necessary to make it more "streetable". These changes consisted of Spax adjustable dampers and new springs to increase ground clearance and soften the ride a bit. Removal of the 4 point racing belts in favor of standard seat belts. Custom made tonneau cover and cargo cover of high quality canvas. Mounting of spare tire carrier. Removed generator and installed alternator. Installed gear reduction starter. Replaced Detriot Locker rear end with Quaife LSD. Installed VTO 6"x14" wheels and Dunlop Direzza 185/60 x 14 tires.The following items were new or rebuilt with the rebuild in 2012:1968 Cortina GT 1600 crossflow engine with dry sump, ual Dellorto DHLA carburetors, sky cam, orted and polished Holbay head, ord Cosworth pistons, ightened flywheel, alanced and blue printed.Cortina 4 speed transmission with new clutch and hydraulics3.89 Cortina rear (now with Quaife LSD)New wiring throughoutOriginal speedometer rebuiltThe balance of the gauges are new SmithsOdyssey batteryPertronix ignitionElectric tachometerDSK formula Ford front suspension with adjustable camberWood rimmed steering wheelNew dash, eats and door cards in original colorOriginal chassis was reinforced and powder coatedHand formed aluminum panelsPowder coated exhaust systemNew nose cone and wings (rear wings upgraded to 11")Piles of records dating back to 1973Complete pictorial rebuild recordMany spare partsas well as original parts that were replaced
