Hello - my car!
Posted: Thu Jan 23, 2020 2:18 pm
Although I bought this car two weeks ago, I have only taken delivery today!
This is my first venture into Lotus, from my previous years of TVR, Mini and MGB where I messed around with, lost money with and not very successfully, club raced and hill climbed. I got tired of them and here I am!
I am a compulsive messer, so originality is lost on me! This car will always look like an Elan, and will retain the Twinc (is it Twinc or Twink?) engine, but will have some modern touches added - already shopping for EFI bits. So if I ask any blingy questions, just bear with me please!
This car cried out to me because the first cigarette I ever smoked was of course a Gold Leaf! - If it was OK for Jim Clark, then it was the way forward for a young lad with stars in my eyes It is a bit shiny, yes, and it has a gawdawful roof, but maybe I will get used to it. I was going to have it covered in, but decided in the end to spend the money on EFI bits.
Regards
Hal
