I'm afraid it's not a Lotus.

There are so many Lotus Seven lookalikes that it could be. Is this a Westfield?

We got there! Originally with a Ford s/v 1172 and later fitted with a Ford Kent crossflow, but now restored back to 1172 with an Elva ohc conversion.

This car was featured in a very well-known magazine. I'm surprised it took so long. Well done and one point.
