1988 Lotus 7 Series 3 Replica For Sale

Lotus 7 series 3 replica for sale.

Really nice vehicle built to a very high standard, only 11, 500 miles on the clock, constructed by Lago Morph Performance and Replica cars of Bournmouth. Mine for the last 4 years with only 3 previous owners. Great looking, in period, fun to drive and in total excellent working order. Only reason for selling is that ive just turned 70 i feel its time for a classic jaguar.

It is registered on the V5 as a "Lago Morph". One of only 3 built by former Lotus engineer Tony Hare. He ended production because of copyright issues with Caterham and went on to build Ford GT40 replicas. It is well built and totally in the spirit of the sixties. A substantial and a cut above the normal Lotus lookalike with its top quality chassis and neatly finished all-alloy bodywork. Fiberglass is confined to the wings and nosecone as in the original.

As a production car constructed with specialist skill all mechanical ingredients are there too. A 1970, 1600cc Ford Crossflow engine. Ford gearbox and live rear axle, front disc and rear drum brakes, A frame rear suspension with adjustable shocks. Was in regular use until 2011 when the third owner moved abroad. Extensive recommissioning at 8, 000 miles in 2013 brought the vehicle back to spec. Brakes completely stripped and rebuilt, new master cylinder and rear wheel cylinders with the front calipers overhauled. Wheels were shot blasted and powder coated.

Since i took ownership, at less then 9000 miles, ive had the following work carried out by a race engineer, new engine mounts, new Pistons, timing Chain, clutch and master Cylinder and expansion chamber. In 2016 a full front suspension overhaul inc new shocks and all bushes replaced. In 2017 all bushes replaced on the rear. All MOT's to support history.

The car has a hood and full tonneau, the interior is nicely trimmed in period style with a smartly finished dash with period instruments. All tires are looking great with plenty of tread. The steering is sharp and positive.

To sum it up its simply an historical and characterful drive.
