Ev-Mor recently began production of its new Generation IV Cobra Replicas. It is an exciting re-emergence of one of the staples of the kit car/Cobra industry. They are also in the process of making several prototype vehicles, and they hope to have several vehicles ready to display at their factory this summer.

New Lotus Player
The Lotus 7 may be the most popular kit car design in England, and it is really making headway here in the States. Gaining in popularity, the Lotus 7 has inspired a number of new players in the kit car world.
One new participant is DeMan Motorsport from Canada. Headed by Daniel Mann, a trophy winner in his Lotus prototype at last year's Run and Gun, DeMan offers a Super Seven chassis kit complete with pedal box, rollbar, alloy floor, 11-piece fiberglass body set, front wishbones, front uprights, front wing mounts, set of four shock absorbers, fully adjustable mushroom inserts for front upright, modified front hubs, modified steering rack, rear wishbones, rear uprights, polyurethane bush set, all parts needed from donor car, fuel tank with swirl pot, slider for prop shaft, ball joint set, locking nuts for top ball joints, panels for interior, dash board, floor panel in aluminum, nut and bolt pack, and rivnut tool with rivnuts.
We saw Daniel Mann racing his DeMan Lotus 7 at Run and Gun, and the car was quick and handled well. For more information, contact Deman Motorsport, 10 Switzer St., Dept. KC, Box 704, New Lowell, Ontario, Canada LOM 1NO, (705) 720-0722, www.deman-motorsport.com.
