This Lotus Other Seven Replicas got away, but there are more like it here.

LS1-Powered Diva Roadster

Bid to $25,500 on 4/8/22

This Diva roadster is styled after the Lotus Seven and features a fiberglass body finished in purple with yellow accents over a tubular chassis. The vehicle was assembled prior to the seller’s acquisition in 2021 and is powered by a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Features include a B&M shifter, an aluminum radiator, a vented hood, wood interior trim, AutoMeter instrumentation, coilover suspension, dual roll hoops, LED taillights, 17″ Halibrand-style wheels, and disc brakes. Service in 2021 reportedly consisted of overhauling the transmission and replacing fluids. This Diva roadster is now offered with manufacturer’s literature, assembly photos, and a clean Arizona title listing the car as a 1962 Lotus.

The fiberglass body is finished in purple with contrasting yellow trim on the front nose and around the rear wheel wells. Equipment includes a vented hood, a front spoiler, Lotus badging, a mesh grill, dual roll hoops, cycle-style front fenders, side vents, dual side mirrors, and wind wings.

Silver 17″ Halibrand-style wheels with polished lips are wrapped in 195/55 BFGoodrich G-force Sport Comp 2 tires. The car is equipped with adjustable coilover suspension and disc brakes at all four corners.

The cockpit features bucket seats trimmed in black, and color-matching carpeting protects the floors, transmission tunnel, and side panels. Amenities include wood dash trim, a fire extinguisher, a B&M shifter with a white knob, lap belts, and dash-mounted toggle switches.

A four-spoke steering wheel with a Lotus center cap frames chrome-ringed AutoMeter instrumentation consisting of a 120-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer. Auxiliary gauges for oil pressure, water temperature, fuel level, and battery voltage are mounted in the center of the dashboard. The digital odometer shows 3,700 miles, approximately 300 of which were added by the seller.

The 5.7-liter LS1 V8 features an aftermarket camshaft, a circular mesh air intake filter, an aluminum radiator, and body-color shrouding. Fluid changes were performed in November 2021.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission, which was rebuilt in November 2021. Additional photos of the underside are provided in the gallery.

Photos from various stages of the assembly process are also presented below.
