Hey,Ive got one of those!.............(the trophy,not the bumper!)

If it was a SevenStock,at least you know its probably a domestic bumper,not Japanese or Australian.....

RacerX7fb

It's by Elford Turbo in England. No longer in production.

chedda_j

Props to me for using it as a sig.

Too bad its no longer in production.

680RWHP12A

its old school, nice looking too,,, it only fit 78-79-80 i believe.......

boog

that sucks, i want i want................i was thinking about making my own "lip" i guess you could call it on the seven to see if i could suck up more air into the radiator area(to replace that wobbly piece of cheap plastic that makes the lower air dam.....and you know the grill slats that come stock, what if we made our own, im going to experiemnt with that too, i was think just two big ones9not huge, js a lil bigger)....................do you guys think taking out anything on or around the radiator will help cooling too...im in vegas, im getting ready for a new record this year, we hit like 124 last summer i think or 114 or somethin

nope as stated above and in the owner of the car's website its an elford turbo bumper no longer in production

Manntis

thought it looked Euro - the wider plate space was a giveaway

nick1

other than the fact that there is a space for a euro spec plate, (missing part of the black moulding like part), it really looks like the bumper from victoria british, for the sa, oh, and with some type of fog lights....

maybe the victoria british one is a replica of that one

I thought the exact samething when I saw it too....

If you guys like it so much, get the lip off victoria britsh and add fog lights where the stock vents are. Add a grill, it'll look the same. You could go as far as to remove the trim off the bumper, However that requires MUCH body work seeing as it is part of the mould.

Looks good though. But if you want it bad enough you guy could easily make that. Bumper seen on white rx7 below



VICTORIA BRITISH changed it's name to BLACK DRAGON AUTOMOTIVE which sounds pretty gay in my opinion

i like that it leaves the beak nose of the rx7, i dont like the scca flat style ones, my opinion tho.....i think i will buy that.... does look kind of like the front of a tractor tho

Well

Take it from someone that knows and has done a lot od research.
Ist off Victoria British is now "Black Dragon" 2ndly both have them
have lost the vender for that airdam 78-79-80. You will not fine one
for your car. Also you will not be able to modify that one to look like
the above captioned...
You could always check Aussies but the shipping is too much
Pauli
... and btw its real nice - i would love one

VB is still advertising as VB in Classic Car Magazine, for one, and the VB website is still victoriabritish.com so I think they're using both tradenames.

Andreas

well, i got an original Elford resting here, waiting to be build up. and the car is original so all the bodywork is still there, including the frontbumper.
what do you guys and girls think, is there a market for making a copy of it?

If you were in the States, yes, there might be an opportunity for some sales. But knowing how cheap most of us 1st genners are, it would be a toss up.

I may be on something but that car in the pic does not look like an SA to me.The marker lights on that car are pure FB,but that may be due to the aftermarket bumper cover.

Andreas

here is a scan of the original Elford folder:



sorry for the size...

DeRFmAn

bigger IS better

Junia

I know I'm not the only one that thought that it was gonna be a question about "THAT" one 1st gen with "THAT" body kit. You guys know damn well which one I'm talking about.

It seems to me that nobody seemed to notice that the car in the original pic is actually an FB. Take a close look at the bumper. Its clearly an FB bumper and turn signal lamps.
