Esther (car)
Esther is a Lotus 7 type car made in Ugglerum, Sweden. The company was founded by Lars Svensson and Magnus Haferbier in 1987. They started off with a shingle wood board jig who had been used for earlier Lotus 7 copies in the Kalmar area. However new IDeaS came and the first chassis was sold unfinished and a new design was made, this time based on a Triumph Herald as donor. Since the mk2 chassis in 1988 over 45 chassis' have been sold.
An Esther can be built with engines from Ford, Opel, Volvo, Alfa-Romeo and VW, with De Dion tube or live rear axles and different types of 4 and 5 speed gear boxes.
