Quick question, and apologies if it's off topic - does anyone know whether this Tamiya Lotus 7 1:24 kit is the BMC A Series engined version? |

Done a bit of googling, but drawing a blank I'm afraid. Is it worth taking a chance for the sake of £6? I'm currently building one of these:   |

True - if it's not then I can always sell it on. I'm hoping it is the A Series version (the wheels look like they could be BMC ones) as I'm slowly accumulating parts to convert a Gunze Sangyo Frogeye Sprite kit into a Mk2 Sprite, and want an engine and gearbox for it (the Frogeye kit is engineless), and there are several of the Lotus kits on eBay. Also looking for a 1:24 MGB kit (for the tail and rear lights) before I start.
That BMW looks very cool - I've also seen a few 1:24 kits of the normal road version on eBay

Nope, its a series 2. Only some series 1s were A-series.
Sorry.

Not A series - *@%*!! Thanks though for confirming. The only other option is a Tamiya Mini kit, but that will only do most of the engine, and not the 'box. Thinking about it more, I can see that the hubcaps don't look very BMC....  |

Oooh models!
Done this kit a couple of times it's a Ford Crossflow 'cosworth' 1600 (has little transfer for rocker cover).
Hub caps I think were lotus elan ones, as per 'prisoner' car (KAR 120 C)
