'58 Lotus 7 Series 1 on eBay

Looks like an original, not a kit... Not mine, just letting everyone know it's there. I did a search, so sorry if this is a repost.

Well, most, if not all Lotus 7's way back then WERE kits as sold, especially ones that came to the US.

But, this looks like the real deal. I love the aside from the seller about the chassis number maybe not being the right number. No kidding, ya think Colin was really keeping track of that stuff 50 years ago?

The seller said it has the wrong chassis plate...

The ID number that is on the car is correct for a Series One car. The problem is that it is stamped on a Lotus Identification plate from a later vintage Lotus. I have no idea as to why. the original could have been lost, damaged, or whatever. It has no effect on registration, but is a important to those who want to trace its history/provenance.
