Honestly, Moppie I can't tell you who the owner was. It was a few years ago when I was helping out on a Lotus and BMW track day. One of my close friends, who runs the Fraser, has a race licence and was providing some instruction (as well as doing some shakedown runs in the race car).
All I do remember was the car had a blue body and it was reasonably new at the time. I think I sat with the owner for a couple of laps before I had a drive. I'm not a racer and this was someone else's pride and joy (not to mention he was sitting beside me) so it wasn't the fastest run in the world even with the helmet on. But the impression I got was it's a more modern 7 - it's basic but everything in the car is there to do the job which is very narrow in its scope - it's a very focussed car and it's not meant to suit everything.
You are right about the visibility though it's a lot better than the Esprit but you'd never need a sound system because I suspect even with Taz's sound system you'd have trouble hearing it.
And if I had a Speedster in the garage, I'd need to have a touring car and a truck preferably something big, dumb and grunty, as well.
