Hi All
56 years ago this December I received confirmation from the factory that my deposit for my car was received and that it was going into production. It was shipped from the factory mid March and arrived in Vancouver by freighter through the panama canal in early may 1964.
More than 2 generations later I have never found a more satisfying drive.I purchased it for hill climbing competition originally and could never find a better driver since!
I often wonder how many original long time owners are out there ?
No rain in Lotus Land today so a drive in my 1963 Christmas present is in order.
MERRY CHRISTMAS !! --- And keep your stick down !
