Buyer’s notes
About the Lotus Seven S2
The Series 2 Seven of 1960 brought glassfibre wings and nose cone, 13-inch wheels, a Standard rear axle and Triumph Herald steering. Engines ranged from Ford’s side-valve 100E to the 997 cc 105E and BMC’s 948 cc A-series, with Cosworth-modified Ford engines in the Super Seven. About 1,300 were built to 1968.
What moves the price
- Engine: Super Sevens with Cosworth-modified engines sit above the standard cars.
- Identity: a provable chassis number and history.
- Originality: many Sevens were raced or rebuilt, and original specification is scarcer than the numbers built suggest.
Before you buy, check
- The chassis number against the car’s stampings, its documents and the marque register.
- The spaceframe for corrosion, cracks and accident repairs.
- Records of any competition use and of what was changed.
