Fairman Carro c.1991?

Djetset · « **Reply #26 on:** June 15, 2011, 02:47:36 PM »

Gosh, you're digging up some names that I haven't heard of for years WI. It's not a Fairman, but do keep them coming.

Savant by Sector 3 Ltd. of Huddersfield?

Djetset · « **Reply #28 on:** June 15, 2011, 02:56:25 PM »

No, the Savant was much more curvaceous.

Unicorn from 1987?

Djetset · « **Reply #30 on:** June 15, 2011, 06:49:21 PM »

Not a Unicorn.

Albo from Albo Engineering of Batley?

Djetset · « **Reply #32 on:** June 15, 2011, 06:58:46 PM »

I know the Albo well, and that was much nicer and more professional than this one, so no.

Okay, one last guess before hitting the sack.
Opus?

Djetset · « **Reply #34 on:** June 15, 2011, 07:29:34 PM »

Not an Opus.

Sleep well, and don't have nightmares dreaming about odd Lotus Seven-inspired cars!

Phoenix?

Djetset · « **Reply #36 on:** June 16, 2011, 02:45:48 AM »

I can't see this one rising from the ashes, so not a Phoenix.

Still five to go!
Stimulator, or it may be Simulator, from Paignton in Devon?

Djetset · « **Reply #38 on:** June 16, 2011, 03:58:26 AM »

I remember the Stimulator (a very large Seven-esque kit car) but don't recall a Simulator. Anyway, neiother of those, so four more to go!

Racecorp from Chinner, Oxon?

Djetset · « **Reply #40 on:** June 16, 2011, 10:39:18 AM »

I recall the LR Racecorp very well too, as it's Chinnor base was just a few miles from my home in the Chilterns. Sadly though, it's not that one either.

Spyder from Spyder Cars/Spydersport of Peterborough?
I think my last two guesses will be too new, they are both later than 2000.

Djetset · « **Reply #42 on:** June 16, 2011, 11:50:09 AM »

Ah, the Spyder, with it's Colin Chapman-esue central chassis. Sorry not that one either, and the mystery car is pre-2000, so hope this doesn't rule out your final two possibilties.

woodinsight · « **Reply #43 on:** June 16, 2011, 12:05:17 PM »

Unfortunately I think it will.
My last two were RAW Striker and R Motorsport.
It's possible I missed some others so if I come across anything else I'll try again.....

Djetset · « **Reply #44 on:** June 16, 2011, 12:07:59 PM »

Sorry WI, but it is neither of those either. A valiant effort all the same so far though, including a couple of names I didn't know myself, so well done, and don't give up!

Don't worry I won't give up!
I wonder if all these were covered in Chris Rees' book on All the Sevens?

Djetset · « **Reply #46 on:** June 16, 2011, 12:25:47 PM »

I think this one may have escaped Mr Rees' attention, which is most out of character!

Just found another name that offered plans-built Lotus Seven type cars from 1991 - Mahdeen?

Djetset · « **Reply #48 on:** June 21, 2011, 04:01:22 AM »

Ah well done, as Mahdeen it is! I'm not sure if any/many were built beyond the car in th photo, but it's certainly a very obscure Seven. Another point to your tally.
