Hello all,Thank you for looking at my 1965 Lotus Super Seven Replica built in 2012 by Bob Fine of Orlando, Florida. This is just like an original Lotus Super Seven, a Caterham Seven, a Super7, or Bricklin. This is the only car I know that seems more like an F-1 Car than a grocery-getter. Revvingthe race car sounding engine always brings a smile to my face, and will to yours. I've given many a child and then father a ride (because dad truly wanted the ride.) If you enjoy attention and questions such as "what exactly is that?", and "wasn't that the evil guy in Fast and the Furious's getaway car?",and comments of "I know she is fast!, " and she is... I've owned several high performance cars, and hands down, this is the most fun on 4 wheels I have ever had. Just remember, aPorsche911 is exciting to drive, while this isexhilarating. This is also much more fun than a side by side, and is street legal!
"Well, I'm relisting this amazing car for the third time, if you've seen it beforethat is why.. The first bidder was someonein Texas who was an out of the country shipper, who backed out of the deal by not paying, returning or taking calls, who never paid through this "steam boat" fictitiouscompany and who was using fake emails, it wasshady to say the least... The second person was very nice, yet I let backout of the deal becauseultimatelythey live in Boston. If you live in Boston, don't bid if you expect toregisterthis. I wasverycordialand after Ilet them send an independant inspector, who went for a test ride andthevehiclepassed with flying colors, all engine tests, tracking straight, brake functioning, clutch everything perfect, and the guy who tested this wanted to buy it (I should have gotten his number)! Yet, ultimately, the City of Boston in Massachusettswill not allow a bikeengined car to run on their streets, as theemissionsstandards are not the same for a bike engine in a car, so the director wouldn't allow it (I was CCed on several emails from the local Director who had the final call. So I felt for the guy.) So new rules:
first:YOU MUST HAVE AN INSPECTION DONE PRIOR TO THE END OF THE AUCTION. The first inspection went wonderfully so I have no qualms, Come to Lancaster, Ohio I'll take you (or mechanic) for a great ride, (Weather Permitting, it is Ohio).second: you must pay the 500.00 deposit within 48 hours.
third: you must fully pay any balance within 7 days.
fourth: I will work with anyone with shipping and will hold for shipping for up to 4 weeks, after everything is paidfor. I have a clear title in my name that I will have notorized and then mail to you as soon as any full payment is made, so you hold the title. Any otherquestionsplease email me, or call Thanks -E"

This is a 1965-1968 Super Seven Replica, this weighs 1100 lbs wet and has 168 hp at the rear tire as it was dynoed and the engine mapped. This was made to the light specifics of theCaterham R 500, yet made to be morereliableand safer. Such additions were designed to add morecomfort for the driver, the seat is able to be adjusted. I'm 5'8" and 200 lbs. This was made toaccommodatetaller people than myselfand I had to add adjustable seat rails in order for me to reach the pedals. So yes, the driver seat is fully adjustable, my 5'4" father can drive it or 6'2' employee. Also, the original Caterham and Lotus plans do not incorporate a fire wall. This has a firewall, as every car with a motor should, and it is more than substantial even at it's light weight. This car was not made with the unreliable land rover engine, like the Caterham R500 but, instead it uses a 2006 GSX-R Suzuki1000cc engine that wasmappedandbalanced to perform and have the most available torque withreliability. The engine has 7,100 miles on it while the car andchassis has 2600+- Miles. The engine comes stock with 178 hp, butthat never makes it to the rear tires, after having everything reworked we have 168hp at the rear wheel which is just amazing. Never just believe the engine horse power, its at the wheel where it counts. This was Bob Fine's 5th Lotus Super Seven he created from Caterham and Locost kits. He has over 2000 hours of blood sweat and tears into this project and knew his son would drive it, so all the additional safety. You can buy a new kit from caterham for23204.80 US Dollars minus shipping, then take the 300-2000 hours it takes to build it yourself and still not have this exciting of a machine. Bid on this today for instant gratification!
This 1965 Lotus Super Seven replica also has a balanced drive shaft rather than a chain drive from the suzuki engine to the rear differential. This has adifferential out of anrx7 twin turbo,making this a very strong rear end. One can doburnouts all day long if they really wanted to. It has LED head lights and running lights. The interior cockpit has a built in GPS and huge lighted centered tachometer with gear indicators.This is a six speed sequential shift manual that is perfect for quick precise shifts up and own. This is a BECenginedLotus with a drive shaft. It also has a dampener on the brakes if you want to set this up fortrack use. The front suspension is fully adjustable also for track use. It has a large 15 gallon rear racing gas tank withembeddedfoam so the fuel does not slosh. I personally wanted to use this in autocross events. Yet, as a funeral director (why there's an old hearse in the background of the pictures) with 2 young children, I don't have the time on the weekends when events take place. I generally use this as car for fun and cruising through the back roads near the hocking hills of southern Ohio.

I have owned several amazing vehicles in my life, 1968 mustang, 1973 supercharged mustang., rx7, toyota mr2, an M3 bmw, all amazing cars, they all had amazing abilities each, mainly power and then cornering ability. This car is true driving performance. This is 168 horses on a 1100 lb vehicle wet, which makes this weight to horse power ratio hands down unbelievable! It has been modeled after a Super Light Caterham R500 built for quick speed which was based on the 1968 Lotus Super Seven Design, as this one has been designed. It has an added firewall and also racing roll over arm/helmet protection strap for extra safety. It is as quick as any super car! It sticks to corners as if it were on rails.
