Bert and Fay Curtis keep vintage racers on the track (and vintage GMC motorhomes on the road, but that's a different story) by supplying parts the original manufacturers don't offer any more. They have a full line of replica pre-Caterham Lotus Seven replacement parts, and since Kinetic Vehicles and Curtis Unlimited do a lot of work for each other (and serve very different markets), they're letting Kinetic offer Curtis products to homebuilders. Here's the price list for their Lotus Seven line, and I'll take photos when I drop by their place so I can be less textual and more graphic.
I am particularly fond of their part # SS-106 3" wider clamshell fenders and SS-15 wide clamshell and headlight mount. They're what I run when I want my car to look like a genuine Lotus Seven, a la the Prisoners of Petroleum car (shown below) we ran in Escape from Berkeley.
All Curtis parts are made to order, but we pre-order and run a positive balance with them so can get your order to the front of the line.
