I got this from a guy in Edmonton, its a Lotus 7, 2006.

Its got a crate 302 Ford V8 engine in it, alloy heads, roller cam, Ford 7.5 rearend, Miata rims.

I also got a pile of spares/moulds/engine with it as well. Some of which I am sure I could use for the one I want to build.

I will update the spec in a few days as I am fairly busy just now.

I went for a ride in it last fall and its quick.

The guy is leaving the country and Ive wanted one for a long time now so, I jumped at it.

I have to figure out where to go for insurance yet?

I think a lot of thaw would be the correct thing to say.
