Other copies I've owned - Tiger Cat E1, with Sierra underpinning:  And an ugly Dutton that are often overlooked, but actually with a humble 1.3 cross flow and basic components is probably closer in spirit to the original Lotus 7 than a lot of the modern versions. Hilarious at the track, especially overtaking Lotus Elise on the bends (more down to their poor drivers than our skill or car). Of course suffers like a lot of older cars in that pretty much every modern family hatch could beat it for outright speed. This will hopefully getting worked on and back on the road next year.  |

Only if you tell me more about it!!! That's an easy request ;D It's a hillclimb Caterham converted to a Rover v8 running on 4 downdraught carbs (either Weber or Dell'orto). Furthermore it has 15" split rims and is running on very wide tyres. The owner is also behind Holden Vintage and Classic company.

Or a Dutch Donkervoort D8 Cosworth will do nicely:  |

The Dax Rush, which started off as a licence-produced UK version of the German Mohr Rush 7 replica. Available in standard and widebody chassis (for the more generously-proportioned gentleman) and with a range of engines including the Honda F20C, Cosworth YB Turbo and Rover V8 as well as Hayabusa and Fireblade options. Here's an interesting V8 example from the Netherlands:  www.v8forum.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7915&sid=8421f99090f53c1dfc36c2363e1d797bThere is also a 4x4 version (the Rush Quadra) that uses the transmission as well as the engine from a Sierra/Escort Cosworth. One was built by Adrian Stanley of S H Autos in Bromsgrove to break the record for the fastest-accelerating 2-litre production car (which it failed at, as 100 needed to be built to qualify). A 430bhp Dome Motorsport-tuned Group A engine with water injection and anti-lag, 13" wheels with slicks (to allow some wheelspin, saving the driveshafts) and lightweight chassis and bodywork gave a 0-60mph time of 2.48 seconds, 0-100mph time of 6.6 seconds and a power-to-weight ratio of 873bhp per ton.    Here's a video of another Rush Quadra - Neville Chetcuti uses his for sprints and hillclimbs in Malta. |

What carbs are these? Look a bit long in the body for them to be SU's, unless they are some wacky vintage numbers... Is that an A-Series? They're earlier SUs. Engine is an MG XPAG out of something like a TD or TF Or a YA / YB or ZA / ZB Magnette saloon, if not the Wolseley equivalent - btw, despite often being viewed as the archetypal MG engine, the XPAG was actually borrowed from the Wolseley parts bin. |
