> [@Slomies](#): > > ^ actually its reverse. this car has been around FOREVER The super 7 was around forever. The CSR is relatively new. The regular Super 7 was a 147hp Zetec Ford engine. This one has a 2.3 Cosworth and some chassis modifications. ---

What does £31,000 translate into? Not too far off from an Atom I think… And that’s just the starting base price for the 200 bhp CSR model. ---

I’ve been in one of these recently, and I must say it was prob. the most fun car I’ve ever been in. Nothing like being that low, with no doors, windows, or really ANYTHING, other than being a pure race car allowed on the streets. ---
