1962 Lotus Super Seven Race Car

The star of our showcase is a timeless classic from Britain's storied motorsport scene, a 1962 Lotus Super Seven Race Car. This rare gem hails from the golden era of racing heritage, originally crafted in the heart of England before making its way across the pond to its current home in California, United States. This iconic vehicle is not just any ordinary classic car; it's a purpose-built racer, with no compromises made for everyday practicality. With its aluminum body stretched over a lightweight steel backbone chassis and powered by a eager 120 horsepower at 7,000 RPM from its dual-carb inline-four engine, this Super Seven is all about raw, unadulterated driving pleasure. Its distinctive feature, apart from being a race car in civilian clothing, is the absence of things most cars take for granted—a true testament to Colin Chapman's minimalist philosophy, where less certainly is more when it comes to speed and handling.
