Hi: Sorry if this is out of bounds, but this is rather unique and I wanted to post here in case it's of interest. The Seven is one of the few classic Lotus cars I've not owned, but a good friend of mine bequeathed me this very cool diorama. I'm planning to put it on eBay with no reserve, but now that I'm bonded with this Europa crowd, I thought I'd let everyone here know about it first.
It's a beautiful piece of collectible Lotus Art, commissioned in London for my friend, who owned an identical 7 and raced it in vintage events on the West Coast. I've enjoyed owning it but have decided it's time for it to go to a more devout 7 fan.
It seems that very few of these custom pieces change hands, but I found two that sold at major auction houses:

https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/20148/lot/204/
Photos below (reference wine bottle not included :)) and I can send more if needed. To save me this hassle of eBay, I'd let it go for $275. PM me, or please pass this along to any connections who are 7 owners but not on this forum.

Very cool! I love 7s! I wish I could get one but my money is already accounted for (for the most part) and I have no place to put one anyway.
