  • President's Message
    Published by the Golden Gate Lotus Club www.gglotus.org June 2003 President’s Message by Peter Richen Noni & I went to the Wine Country Classic the other day. Dave and Penny Elsebusch, who race a Lotus 7A (Dave drives, Penny is the mechanic), kindly provided me with a participant’s pass. It was a beautiful day. The Lotus marque was well represented with two 7A’s in the ’55 to ’62 GT & Production Car class; seven 23’s in the ’61 to ’65 Sport Racing Class; a super 7, and an Elan 26R in ’63 to ’66 GT and Produc- tion Cars; twelve 18’s, 20’s, 22’s and 27’s in the ’57 to ’63 Formula Car Class; and nine 11’s and one 15 in the ’55 to ’60 Sport Racing Class. In addition to the racing, there was a large tent devoted to wine tasting and other gourmet items from the Napa and Sonoma area. It cost an extra $15 each to get into the tent, but it went to Rich Kamp and a new Caterham 7, in his new shop charity, and it was worth it to be able to taste and nibble from a scenic area overlooking the course. We also took the opportunity to visit with Rich Kamp at his new shop, June Meeting which is right behind turn 10 (opposite the main grandstand).

  • Design Anal Sis of the Lotus Seven S4 (T Pe
    15/11/11 Design Analsis of the Lotus Seven S4 (Tpe 60) Conneions You are here: Home » Content » Design Analysis of the Lotus Seven S4 (Type 60) Design Analsis of the Lotus Seven S4 (Tpe 60) Module b: Andrew R. Barron. The design target of the Lotus Seven S4 (Type 60) was to aimed at meeting several requirements: Lower cost of production, in particular the chassis and the hand beaten aluminum panels. Reduce the time of manufacture from the 12 hours for the Series 3. Find a market to a wider owner base with improved driver comfort and weather protection. Compete with sports cars from major manufacturers, such as MG Midget and Triumph Spitfire Provide a first step on the ladder of Lotus ownership. Take advantage of the 1970s “beach buggy” craze. The success of the design of the Seven S4, and the choice of various components, should be considered with regard to these goals. As such the S4 was a rather clever piece of design that largely overcame the cost problems of the Seven S3. Chassis and bod Although the Peter Lucas designed chassis of the Type 60 Seven S4 is basically a tubular frame design, it is significantly simplified as compared to the proceeding Seven models. Using steel square upper and lower side tubes with triangulation and cross members with square steel tubes, the main chassis was simple in design (Figure 1 (#id3640890) ). A rear frame was made from round tubular steel. The upper rear chassis doubled as the attachment point for the fuel tank, the seat belts, and the body to the chassis.
