Lotus Seven S4 1970 to 1973

Lotus Seven S4

Final version of Lotus's minimalist sportscar for the road. Built from 1970 to 1973. Originally fitted with a 165SR13 radial tyre, or an optional 185/70HR13.

The Series 4 was a better car than its predecessor, but it was styled with all the joy and lunacy of the early 1970s. Because of that, its unusually angular and curvy styling damaged sales at the time, then promptly aged badly.
