The Lotus goes to the DMV
to get it's title and registration.
My 1963 Factory-built Series II SCCA Lotus Super
Seven (left hand drive)
Frame # B 1546, Chassis plate # SB 1761, SCCA # (0?)0228 (AZ region).
The original engine was probably a Ford 109E (1340c.c.) Cosworth Mk
V, SCCA version, with twin Webers DCOE 40's, confirmed by Homer Rader,
the owner of Lotus Southwest, the distributor in Dallas, TX that imported
the car.
The original engine number was S321505E and the carbs were l7422 and
l7455. The current engine is a Ford 116E (1500c.c.) Cosworth (Mk
IX) engine with twin Weber 40DCOE's and the original (?) Ford close ratio
gearbox.
According to Lotus records the chassis plate that originally matched
frame number B1546 was 1761 (no prefix given but it would most likely have
been SB). The chassis plate was subsequently lost or transferred to another
vehicle. The current chassis plate is a replacement one.
