We (at 7Spot) don’t place a lot of Advertisements for members cars but I had known about this car and thought I’d make an exception.

Thanks for reading 7Spot ! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

There are always exceptions to the rule and this car is worthy of some additional attention.

Below you will see the bare bones of a Messenger conversation that I had with Nikolay Pramatarov but the contents of this conversation are just preamble because of what will be coming soon.

Nikolay is a professional (race and sports car) development engineer and there’s more to the story than just “Selling this 7”.

Have a look below and you will see that theres a lot more “meat on the bone” so to speak.

… and with regard to “so to speak” we (at 7Spot) will soon be doing a Livestream to discuss Nikolay’s Journey (physically and in engineering terms) with this car.

STAY Tuned!

This will be a great Stream (Loads of Techie info)!

Messenger Out Takes and … just the Facts:

Nikolay

Hi Jim. 

I'm trying to advertise for sale my unique 7. 

Is it OK if I use 7Spot to reach the enthusiast's worldwide?

7Spot Jim

Hi Nikolay, 

... I love your 7. 

... Please do go ahead and advertise on 7Spot. ... If you would like, I could also do a feature article on our website … https://7spot.nationbuilder.com/

... If you have some pictures and technical information, please send it to me. 

... I would be happy to post it along with contact information. 

... If you are OK with that idea, I would suggest that you and I have a recorded interview about your 7 too. 

... We do these all the time and it's easy. 

... All you need is a smart phone. 

... Please consider being my guest (in a recording) and let me know.  

Cheers! 

Jim

Nikolay

With pleasure 

I do have a lot of pictures from the building process too. 

I'm sure it would be very interesting to all the hi-tech chaps out there

7Spot Jim

Nice weather in South Africa now. 

… maybe not so nice in Bucharest. … or (here) in Vancouver, Canada

Nikolay

Yeah, that's why I'm selling it. 

We are now in Bulgaria (after 5 years in Germany) but not the weather, nor the roads are tolerable to this type of car. 

South Africa was a different story, you will see on the videos.

Might be worth mentioning that I am a sports car and a racing cars professional development engineer. Sort of, know what I'm doing .... most of the time anyway 

7Spot Jim

… just had a look at the vids of your car ... monster! 

... I've got a Gen 1 Busa in mine and it's pretty quick (0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds) but the engine doesn't growl (like yours). 

... was just listening to the soundtrack of your video and noticed that my ears started to bleed.

Nikolay

If you look at my front suspension too, you will notice that the the pushrod is attached to the upright with a radius offset. 

With the turn of the steering, it pushes the outside (to the corner) wheel harder against the cantilever link, therefore preloading the spring higher on the outer wheel, respectively lighter on the inner wheel. 

This way, my car has absolutely no roll into the corner. If anything, rolls into it.

The F1 Mercedes on Hamilton discovered it in 2019.

That's about 9 years after me.

Please feel free to contact Nikolay for more information:
