Should you need a quality-built Lotus Seven replica, Caterham is your go-to company right now. Still, fan-made conversions exist and also deserve attention. This particular example in a yellow body with a black vinyl cabin is currently up for grabs at Cars & Bids.
The budget-conscious racer comes based on a 1985 Toyota Corolla RWD chassis and relies on a 120-hp (90-kW) engine with 1.8 liters of displacement for acceleration. The gearbox is five-speed manual.
The project is known as Locost 7, a portmanteau of “Lotus” and “low-cost”. The car was finalized eleven years ago, but hasn’t been driven for the past seven years with only around 480 kilometers (300 miles) on the odometer.
The seller describes it as being in a drivable condition, but requiring engine and steering column maintenance.
