Lowflying March 2006 1 The fridge door SteLios VassiLeou sends these shots: firstly, from a trip to the Stelvio Pass - surely one of those must-do destinations for Sevens. Below left, wife Niki steals the scene from car and mountain backdrop; while left, the Seven attracts attention of tourists and bikers; and... below, a clutch of Sevens mix with some German heavy metal at a Pistonheads gathering at Virginia Water last month. Seen at a Dunsfold slalom event: a good turn out in the patchy weather; an enthusiastic getaway (below); and a Seven wearing a sensible coat. Pictures from Angus Davidson. Above and left: Below: Cars seen on a typically enjoyable Lotus Seven Club Historian, aged 5. day at Prescott Hillclimb last year. The orange No. 40/914 is an 1800cc Superlight R; we haven't identified the driver - is it you? 888 FME is the 1350cc Lotus 6 (from 1955) driven by Steve Cropley, with another desirable Lotus parked alongside. EDC 844 is another Lotus 6: the 1172cc machine of David Richardson. Pictures by Andrew Myson. Right: Suspension development: the car is Robert Kenrick's very rapid bike-engined hillclimb machine. The outboard mounting for the upper damper eye helps to alleviate the falling wheel rate inherent in an inclined-spring arrangement (which conventional wide-track exacerbates). Tubular anti-roll bar and drop-links afford stepless adjustment for roll The arrangement was seen on father Clive's car previously and on other car subsequently. Again, seen at Prescott Hillclimb and pictured by Andrew Myson.
