: I was at my welders shop the other day and he
: showed me a little car he had in the back ,
: a Lotus 7 racer, square tube space frame,all
: Lotus drive line, inboard disk brakes,Lotus
: vertical inline four with dual webbers. Said
: he could never find the original slant 4,
: this got me thinking maybe I could build a
: space frame roadster using american running
: gear (Rustang?) and a dry sump 170 slant
: guess I'm a day late and a dollar short. but
: for those of you who haven't seen it you got
: to check out the "lost"
: Valiant/Lotus 11 ,Bruce J.

: Do a google search on "locost". There
: is quite an underground movement duplicating
: the original Lotus 7 setup. Most of the
: people are using 4 bangers, some have used
: v8s and 6s.

: I have been out on road courses with Lotus 7s,
: and I've ridden in a few "at
: speed" with the Ford/Cosworth 4 cyls.
: They are pretty sweet performance-wise, but
: I would hesistate to call them
: "cars" - more like large go karts.

: Cheers,

: You know, to me, the "7" looks like a
: large Go-Kart , Too small for a slant six,or
: a street car, but the construction is very
: interesting.Here is another page on the 11.
: It's the idea of using the slant 6 engine as
: a stressed frame member that gets me
: thinking and looking for more details.
: Enjoy, Bruce

: I was rearended once by a Super7! My '68 GTS
: was only a coupla years old, and I was
: leaving SIR's TransAm race, when I felt a
: bump from behind. I looked in the rear view
: mirror, and there was nothing there. So, I
: got out to look, and here was some weird
: Munstermobile. The chap driving it asked, in
: some heavy English accent, if he had damaged
: the 'bonnet'. It was surreal.
