Lotus.  Silly kids. Location: HI. That's going to cost a bit to ship. It looks like it has Wolfrace wheels on it too.

terry wanted to set the owner straight...
"Under the hood should be a DARE # plate...DARE, Design And
Research Egineering was formed by Ivor Walklett and
his brother,they sold off part of the Ginetta
name/modles.this is NOT a Ginetta...came from the same
stable but is the same car as my red beast...His
brother died before the TG went into production..Ivor
is a great guy and DARE is in Essex,England not far
from wher I used to live...and the wheels on my TG are
also 'wolfies!!!!...made in a town caled Maldon,about
5 miles up the road from the DARE plant..."

It looks like a sweet car, I'd definitely drive it. It'd be cooler with a different engine in it though.

Zetecs are great engines
At least the one in my Contour took a beating, and when I sold her she purred like a kitten, yet roared like a lion when I floored it. 3.0L Vulcan however, much better roar 
Least 2.0 Zetecs sound better than the 1.9L Escorts

not to jack the thread but i had a ride for a few auto-x laps in a real super seven with a zetec motor that was fully modified. it was probably one of the most scary experiences i have ever had. the owner of the car claims it is one of the fastest cars in southern california (at least in the scca) and i believe him. face-distortingly fast.

A good friend of mine has this Zetec-powered Lotus 7 that I can drive any time I want to  . It's called a Birkin & sports a 190-horse Dunnell-tuned (and then some ) Zetec w/laptop programable management system . He really pounds the miles on it (basically his daily driver spring-fall) , but he's always messing with the darn thing . His latest mad was doing new , hot cams & milling the head (this summer) . It was crazy-fast when he first finished it , but it just keeps getting crazier !
The car above appears (to me) to be a Birkin also ...
