This 1971 Lotus Super Seven is a Series IV example that was assembled by Lind Brothers Motors in 1978 and is believed to have been raced early in its life. Power is from a 1.6L inline-four that was rebuilt in 1993 and is paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. The car was acquired by the previous owner in poor condition and underwent cosmetic and mechanical sorting prior to its purchase by the seller in 2015. Just 300 of its 30k indicated kilometers (~18k miles) have since been added. This Seven is titled as a 1971 Lotus Convertible in Wyoming under the seller’s name.

Originally finished in yellow, the bodywork was refinished in red gel coat under previous ownership. Small cracks and dings have since been repaired according to the seller, and a defect is pictured on the left rear fender. The suspension received new rubber bushings within the past year.

Split-spoke 13″ wheels are fitted with Cooper Trendsetter SE tires, and an extra set of wheels with racing tires is included in the sale. A soft top will also be supplied in addition to the black trunk cover shown in the gallery below.

The interior features black bucket seats along with a 3-spoke steering wheel and wooden shift knob. The driver’s seat fabric has begun to split along the outer bolster. Smiths gauges are mounted in the dash and center stack. Approximately 30k kilometers (~18k miles) are indicated on the 5-digit odometer, of which the seller estimates he has added about 300. The dash lights are noted as non-functional.

Power comes from a 1.6L “big valve” inline-four equipped with twin Dellorto DHLA 40E carburetors. The engine was reportedly rebuilt in 1993 at approximately 26k km and sends power through a 4-speed manual transmission. The seller notes that the reverse lockout does not function well and that second gear occasionally grinds on fast shifts. Intermittent electrical issues are also described.

A photo of the factory data plate details the assembly by Lind Brothers Motors LTD in July 1978, though the car is reportedly titled in Wyoming as a 1971 model.
