Area Representative marcos59 Posted October 20, 2014 Area Representative Share Posted October 20, 2014 I will start a S2 rebuild from a bare chassisI need almost everything else..first search show most parts are specific so caterham cars will not be the best place to source parts.I'm interested about all links and/or feedback you could send me about Lotus seven S1/2/3 specialists who could provide parts (like gauge/rear axle/fiberglass parts etc..)Thanks !

SM25T Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I would start by talking to Redline Components in Caterham Valley. Contacts ... Mick and John. They have a lot of experience with older Sevens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECR Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 John watson at the lotus seven register should be a very good source of information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Walker Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Not 'The Gauge Shop' - I won't go into too much detail on here, but you would probably regret the day you ever tried doing business with the bloke - I lost money and was truly ripped off.Happy to explain what happened, but not on BlatChat.
