Wow, a Lotus Seven. I've never seen one in person. I owned a 1963 Triumph Spitfire, which was pretty close except for its crappy rear suspension, which was greatly improved by installing Koni shocks and Michelin tires all around. The Spitfire had the best brakes of any car I've ever driven. They had no power assist, since the car only weighed about 1500 pounds; just a simple master cylinder and four brake cylinders. The front brakes were disks and the rear were drums, but the brakes still had the best feel of any car I've driven.
The Spitfire was nothing like the old Lotus 7 which is still available as a Caterham Seven.
Well I suppose it is in that it is a low British sports car, but other than that.....!
The Spitfire was a mass produced road car built from parts borrowed from other cars in their range. It wasn't particularly special and there were better mass produced two seaters from other comanies.
The Lotus was from a small company that actually specialised in modifying existing production cars to produce "hot" versions.
The 7 was the only one they actually produced themselves at that time and was only available in kit form (though you could pay them to build it for you.
It original used a 1600cc Ford BDA engine though I think the newer ones use a 2.2 litre Toyota engine and the very latest ones use a 3cylinder turbo charged motorcyle engine

I once worked for a garage whose sole business was replacing those Wankel engines with proper 4cylinder engines.
Yes they did produce prolific amounts of power, but they used nearly as much oil as they did fuel - which was a lot.
In theory they should have been more efficient than standard ICEs but compression sealing was/is an enormous problem and the rotor tip seals wore out quickly or simply just fell out and chewed up the chambers.
