The entry-level Seven runs on the compact, but free-revving, 1.4 litre four cylinder engine with five-speed transmission.

This really is housed in a minimalist body shell built about the familiar space frame, and may be purchased either in kit form or like a ready-to-run complete car.

Ultra light in weight and packaged having a double wishbone front, deDion rear live axle suspension system, the Classic gives the driver thrills a plenty.

Avoid using it in the rain -weatherproofing is minimal and also the car is claustrophobia-inducing once the roof is on but on the sunny day or on the track is immensely enjoyable.
