With the success of the thread Australian Clubman racing - Sports 1300 etc and after some prompting by Stephen "Cooper997" and "Pallas1970" it seems that it is the right time to start a dedicated thread for what after all started the Clubman phenomena - the Lotus Seven itself.
Marc Schagen's book of course is a great source of reference, but as a book devoted to all Lotuses with a competition history in Australia, then it can never comprehensively cover the individual cars, something a thread like this can expand on with the collective knowledge of those that were a part of it..
I must admit that I have a particular interest in these cars with my ownership of SB1938 a series 2 Seven which, according to Marc's records, was first raced by Ron Mason at Towac in February 1965. But more of this later.
From people I have spoken to Geoghegan's sold the Sevens, sometimes less motor and gearbox etc, were there any other sales outlets in the early to middle sixties here in Australia, and were some of them private imports ?
I am sure there will be many stories about these fabulous cars that started the Clubman era and spawned the likes of Nota and Elfin and others, including home-builds to produce a similar product.
