About this car

This is a 1962 Lotus Seven Series 2, the lightweight Colin Chapman roadster that defined the minimalist sports car. It has a 1500cc Cosworth engine fed by twin Weber carburettors, and a wood-rimmed steering wheel.

The car has been fully restored. The dealer originally sold it in 1991 and has now taken it back. It is recognised by the Lotus Seven Register and comes with a history file, a service and a full MOT. No mileage is stated.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Lotus period data. The 1962 S2 came with several 4-cylinder engines (Ford 105E/109E/Cosworth, BMC A-series), often as a kit, so there's no single factory figure for power, weight or performance. Those fields are left blank.).

Engine position: Front-engined
