Factory Built, Original, Right Hand Drive - Brushed Aluminum And Orange on 2040-cars
Newport Beach, California, United States
1973 Lotus Super 7, with approximately 13,400 original miles. This vehicle has a Twin Cam "Big Valve" engine, and was factory built, never needed restoration. The car shows the normal wear for a well kept rarely driven, car of this era. The photos betray nothing: there is a small tear in the sticker decal on the rear, a small dent in the aluminum cowling cover, and flecking paint on the engine block from heat (normal). This car has been garaged its entire life, and the painted fiberglass is solid with no fading. The car is all original, including paint, and includes a number of factory extras including a removable top, tonneau cover, extra engine cowling (brand new, not installed), and twin British Brookland's wind deflectors (not installed, still in boxes). This car has been loved and cherished and we are sorry to see her go. A simple, classic race car ready for a new home. Get used to sitting below the doorhandles of the car next to you, and don't burn your leg on the exhaust pipe! Happy bidding.

Lotus Eletre electric SUV reveal: Tune in today at 2:30 p.m Eastern
Mon, Mar 28 2022The upcoming electric Lotus SUV formerly known as the Type 132 officially has a name. It will be called the Lotus Eletre, and the vehicle’s full reveal is today, Tuesday, March 29. For those curious, Lotus says that Eletre means “coming to life” in some Eastern European languages. If you want to pronounce it properly, Lotus provides the phonetic spelling: “El-etra.” Basically, the "e" at the end is to be pronounced as an "a." Beyond the name announcement, Lotus doesnÂ’t have anything extra to share with us today. The name itself was revealed in a dramatic fashion, as a specially-made yellow cube containing the car was piloted up and down the River Thames in central London. Boats and cars being in the same news story as of late havenÂ’t always been for good reasons, but thankfully, this one seems to have gone just fine. If you want to watch the reveal live, make sure to tune in here at 2:30 p.m. ET Tuesday. WeÂ’ll have the live stream in this post waiting to start, so you can check back in right here at reveal time.
Lotus recalling certain 2011 Evora S models for possible oil leak, fire
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Last year about 80 examples of the 2011 Lotus Evora S were recalled over an issue with the oil feed pipe. The same number of 2011 Evora S', but with different manufacture dates, are back in the recall box again for a very similar issue; this time it's the engine oil cooler hose that could rupture and spray oil either onto the rear wheels or a hot engine part. Neither of those cases is good, and the latter could potentially lead to a fire.
Lotus is working on a solution, so a recall date hasn't been announced. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
Lotus hiring 100 after securing lb100m investment
Fri, 02 Aug 2013Lotus is getting a shot in the arm courtesy of corporate parent DRB-Hicom, which has announced a 100-million pound ($152.3M USD at today's rates) investment in the Hethel, UK-based manufacturer. The troubled brand was also in the news last week, with DRB announcing a new, three-year plan that would see variants of existing models introduced.
The money will create 100 new jobs in Hethel, with 45 new engineers, 40 manufacturing operatives and 18 university grads joining the team. Lotus has already seen an uptick in sales this year, according to a Norfolk-based news site, with 40 to 45 cars being produced per week and 722 road cars and 45 race cars sold between January and May. Even sales in the UK have seen a big jump - Lotus only moved 70 units in 2012, but it's already sold 80 cars in the first half of 2013.
Better yet, Lotus is citing an increased demand for its cars around the globe as the motive behind the new hires. While still quite uncertain, Lotus looks like it might finally be on the right track.
