The Lotus 7 was never homologated. There were various reasons but the principal one was that it lacked doors and every category, outside single seaters, always required at least one door. The knock on effect was that no Lotus 7 took part in an International event-or at least legally- thus it has never been accepted by the FIA as a mainstream historic car. Some ASN -notably France- find a way of running them in ''old car race meetings'' but essentially they remain outside the loop. I suspect that will not change a great deal.
