Oh my... was that the Greenville SC car?

Congrats - quite some improvement!

Looks stunning! Congrats.

Is it a keeper or will you be moving it along???

Very nice! Where is the bonnet ?

Wow! Beautiful car! Looks really good in white. That's a pretty amazing before and after...

Zog,

that is absolutely beautiful! (is that an original Lotus shade/hue?)

regardless, it's stunning!

Mark.

Thanks for the compliments!

I have not installed the hood/bonnet yet. I know there will be some fiddling going on in the engine bay.

Yes this car came from Greenville south Carolina.

The paint is a modern Lotus Monaco white. Niice color. Not super bright but it still really turns heads.

Once I get all the little bugs sorted and everything is broken in, I will be selling the car. I do have a local car club buddy who is interested.....

Looks great Zog. I like the white a lot also.

Did you do a full restoration this time or something less?

Wow, beautiful! And yes, it definitely does look good in that white!

To lotocone - Yes this was another full restoration. My 8th one.The cars I buy for my project usually do not have any directly reusable components. Everything has to come apart and be rebuilt or replaced.

Thanks,

Bob

Your Elan looks great! In the before photo what kind of wheels were on it? I think I have a set like them. Thanks, Eric

Hi Zog,

is that an Elite hiding in the background?
(another restoration project?)
