Volvo+Lotus=Votus!

Thanks to our anonymous tipster, we discovered this hand-made Lotus 7 wanna-be. According to its owners, the Votus is a Volvo powered and Lotus inspired (hence the name…) Lotus 7 replica, which they started building in 2004. The car is powered by an early 70's Volvo 4cyl 2-litre engine which I gather they found for free since these guys are getting directions from Ron Champion's book “Build Your Own Sports Car for as Little as £250 - And Race It!” . Don’t you just love young entrepreneurs? Via: "Tipster" & Votus
