Hi
Just found this site.
I've always been interested in Retro Cars, currently I've got a 1960 Lotus 7 that runs a 180BHP Lotus Twin Cam engine, straight cut box, LSD, escort axle and a 1967 mk1 Austin Cooper S that I am in the process of putting back together.
On the modern side I've got a 1992 SPi Cooper and a Kawasaki ZX636R, although the SPi Cooper is in the process of being sold to make way for an Elise.
I compete in the 7 with my Dad in the ASWMC Hillclimb and Sprint Championships, albeit that it's over 40yrs old it's still quick enough to take class honours quite often!

Welcome..... Like to see some pics of the Lotus 7.

I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like.
