OT: nice cars...traction avants,,

very tasteful if i do say....
(and i just did :icon_lol:)

once, many years ago, a distraught daughter tried to give me one of these:

lotus-super-7-03.jpg


her father used to race it as a younger man. as an older man, he completely restored it from the ground up. cancer took him not long after he finished the car. she could not bear to look at it and wanted it gone. i couldn't arrange a tow fast enough to suit her, so someone else got it.
he sold it a few days later for $35k.
 
i see the "super 7"..is it a Chabum"? ofcourse i dont know the spelling...my dad says its a allard...he had a friend with a cad-allard,said it was a rough riding tool of a car....had a small block ford in it...
 
The original 'type 7'was the Lotus, the 'Super 7' is the further developed Caterham.

Love those TA's!
