Father In Law wants to park his car in my garage.

I said, OK.



and, yes, I have a set of keys and permission to drive it.

It's a Lotus Super Seven (Birkin) replica.

Definition of RAW.

Still plenty of space to use the garage as intended.

I got space if needed, and room on my keychain as well.

And since you are in Japan, it has "proper" RHD, too.

Anybody is welcome to come over for a ride

Here are couple pics of it. I was carefully taking it out for a bit of a drive with my son last year.





Honestly since it's not my car, I probably will rarely drive it. He has it all covered and roped down now.

It's such a tiny car. I'm only 5 foot 7 and 155 lbs, and I barely fit.

Looks funny with a spare. Wouldn't the thing drive on 3 wheels if needed?

Way off topic, but did you just built that house? Are those PEX lines (blue and red) exposed?

Love those side drafts there.

Lucky you. I've always wanted a Lotus 7 or a good replica.
