1972 Lotus Seven Replica
VIN KKSCCS5KW079200602
What’s special about this listing
These cars was built in Toronto, Canada in the 1970’s by “Canadian Industrial Prototype Ltd.” The owners Rudi & George Fejer built somewhere in the neighbourhood of 14 cars or so (unconfirmed exact #) purportedly “under licence” from Colin Chapman of Lotus Cars in England. They also built the “Chinook” Can Am car and an Indy racer In the 1960 - 1970’s. (You can find info on this on the internet.)
This particular car was built in 1992 by Motor Carriage Concepts Inc. in Concord Ontario Canada Inc., (under license from the Fejer brothers, Canadian Industrial Prototype Ltd.) As far as I can tell, I am the 3rd owner and have owned it since 2008. I bought it from a doctor in New Brunswick who told me he was, he believed, the second owner.
I have maintained and rebuilt this car for the 3rd and final time and have tried to keep it as original as possible. It has a 1973 Toyota 2TC 1.6L motor (one of the most popular & reliable motors ever produced from Toyota). It has been recently completely rebuilt by a professional shop in Ontario, Canada with oversized pistons, all new bearings, head and deck machined & matched, new valves, all new bearings and seals and a “mild cam” installed. All paperwork, documentation and specs available on request with car.
Car is very reliable (with constant tinkering, like any car similar). A lot of fun on a back country road on a sunny fall day. It’s NOT a race car, but a Sunday “fair weather” sun and wind in the face joy to drive. It’s also an “attention getter” so be prepared for a lot of questions from people. Contact me if you have any questions or are interested. I have many more pics if required.
