Response to I sure would like to help my fellow Hyperscalers....

In 24th Tamiya has offered this for many yrs. You should have no trouble finding this kit in shops, webstores or eBay. It's pretty close for #6's Lotus 7 S2. Narrow rear fenders, clamshell front fenders, narrow tires, no roll bar,

They also make this 12th super kit. Wide S3 type rear fenders, louvered hood, roll bar and very wide modern wheels/tires. Not to mention a very modern 200+ hp hot rod motor. #6's prob had a 1.2 to 1.5 liter BMC putt putt worth about 80-100 hp.

Should you go the 12th route be aware that they also made a version w/ the small front 'cycle' fenders. Shop around. The kit is $$$ yes but prices do vary widely.
