Ok I bought the 1.4 Supersport I test drove.

I'm after a tonneau for it , Demon Tweeks have them for 114 + vat , but to suit "standard rollbar" . I believe I have what is called a trackday rollbar , does this make a difference ? Or is there a better deal to be had ?

That'll be an FIA bar (with a diagonal) and you will need an FIA tonneau. Check out For Sale on www.blatchat.com to see whether anyone has one for sale - use the search facility on For Sale - you may still find one unsold. If you were a club member, you could post a "wanted" advert - so join the club too and meet likeminded individuals

Also worth a try if you are not fussy about a "Caterham" tonneau is Soft Bits for Sevens. Jill Judd has just done some work mofiying my tonneau for tillet seats and did a cracking job - I think?? they also manufacture their own tonneaus, covers, half roofs etc. etc.

Yes, the big advantange of Jill's stuff is that it folds up a lot smaller. I'd seriously think about a Jill tonneau if wanting to maximise space in the car for touring. The standard tonneau doesn't exactly fold up small!

Thanks all , will try soft bits , though the site doesn't currently seem to link to order form I need. Have mailed Nick to see what the problem is.

Is the Lotus Seven Club the owners club to join ?
