Thanks Mopho!

I wanna see the real thing, in person!

Maybe at the next Supercar Sunday, end of the month??

Congrats again!

--Hal

P.S. Great photo on Car & Driver cover (Mar '07) and article photos about "Hard Core". That's a keeper. Can I get your autograph?

Perfect colors.

Can the lights be mounted lower and out of view.

The more I look at these cars the more obvious it becomes that I need to get one.

There are reasons the 7 is still such a desireable car after 50 yrs:

Great performance

Great looks


Congrats, again.

I'll make it $21K and even offer visitation rights. My Elise could use an orange friend.

I believe you can, it's just a matter of changing the brackets. Some people have put aftermarket lights that are smaller and out of the way

Note the first car:



Personally, I love having the headlights stick up, it gives the car a vintage feel

The reason I only kept my Elise a few months, the 7 just ran circles around it and, as far as just fun to drive.... nothing compares with the 7!
Beautiful car, congratulations!
