The Se7ens Lister's Tours web site is a supplement to the Se7ens email list (sign up to the "list" at: www.se7ens.net) where the tourers first "met". We organise track/touring holidays each year in different countries in our Lotus Se7en inspired sport cars.

The first trip was a 5 day event in Ireland during the Summer of 1999. Called JJ99 after the organiser (Johnty Lyons - Johnty's Jaunt), the trip was a great success involving 1 track day and a coast to coast run through Ireland's geographical North.

The success of JJ99 led to an ambitious tour in Finland and Sweden during the Summer of 2000, which was called Scandi2000. This tour was organised by Andrew "Vinnie" Barriskell and involved 4 ferries, 4 track days, 2000 odd miles, a different Hotel each of the 12 nights, and left more and more people wanting to join in the Se7ens List Tours.

Although the main tour of 2001 was to be mainland European-based, it was felt that an interim "long weekend" was required earlier in the year. This led to a very well organised (by Jonathan "JB7" Rarity) run round the Scottish Highlands in May 2001.

For the main 2001 Summer tour, we drove round parts of France and Switzerland. The tour, called Euro2001 saw a slightly different format to previous tours. Instead of up-early and hell-for-leather drives lasting all day, we factored in a little bit more social time including a fabulous lunch hosted by the town of Nantey. As for the driving, of particular note was the section of the tour which took in the Alpine passes. These are ideally suited to a Se7en. The two track days booked at Magny Cours and Croix en Ternois were also a success (despite the rain at the latter).

Haggis 2 was organised for May 2002, a return to Finland happened in August 2002 and now we have had a return to Ireland for the fantastic Lynch the Leprechaun tour (almost 50 cars attended), this will be followed by a superb blast through the alps in July 2003, the Euro / Italy 2003.
