 LIGHT,
SIMPLE & SWIFT
Al Olseen's WCM Ultralite XR7c
by
D. Brian Smith
Lotus
Cars of Hethel, Norfolk, England,
produced the Lotus Seven from
1957 - 1972. The Seven embodied
performance derived from being
lightweight and simple. To
avoid Great Britain's excessive
purchase tax rates, the Seven
could be bought Completely
Knocked Down (CKD) as a kit,
or fully assembled, which required
customers to pay Britain's
tax surcharge....

Eddens' WCM
By Darrel Arment
Jerry
Eddens had two major goals when he retired in 2000. First, he needed to get all
the little details involved with the building of his new house (and plenty of
garage space) taken care of, and second, he wanted to build some kind of pleasure
car for himself...

and suspension have all seen
multiple upgrades over the years,

Colin Chapman knew a thing or two about cars. He knew,
because he was a racer, that lightweight is always the way to go when making
a vehicle stop, go and turn. And, of course, it was Chapman who designed and
built the Lotus Super 7 - which has been copied, revised and, in some cases,
improved over the years...

quality in a lightweight Sports

The
WCM UltraLite will challenge
your conceptions of what
a lightweight, traditional
sports car should be. For
starters, it isn't English,
or South African, European,
or Brazilian. Nope, this
svelte little arrow is
built right here in the
U.S.A.; in Lancaster, Texas
to be exact. Unlike nine-tenths
of the Lotus 7 clones out
there...
