Introduction

An interesting chapter in the Lotus Seven history, the S4 offers comfort and space while maintaining the core philosophy.
Produced by Lotus Cars from 1970 to 1973, the Lotus Seven S4 is a distinguished model in the lineage of the Lotus Seven, a series of small, lightweight, open-top sports cars. It succeeded the Seven S3 and marked a significant evolution in design and functionality. The S4 featured a more angular design compared to its predecessors, incorporating a fibreglass body and a wider chassis, which aimed to provide more interior space and a slightly refined aesthetic. Despite these changes, the S4 maintained the lightweight construction typical of the Seven series, although it was slightly heavier due to its increased size and added features.
This stunning example comes to market from ~10 year ownership, resurrected by the current owner over that period. Featuring a reworked and upgraded engine to 1,700CC, less than ~1,000 miles covered since completion, it is time to let go and let the new custodian reap the rewards of the vendors hard work.
This listing was written from information supplied by Paul after meeting Mark the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
