New from France with a +2

PostPost by: lomh 13 » Sat Feb 06, 2021 5:12 pm

Good evening everyone. I'm sorry, I hadn't seen this presentation space, So I'm updating myself.
I am Robert, 67 years old and I live in the south of France. I have always loved old English cars and boats.
I own two Minis, a Triumph TR6, a Daimler V8 250 from the 60s and a Lanchester from the 30s.
I also have an Alfa Bertone coupe from the 70s, and other cars from the 80s.
I take care of the maintenance on my own. and I hope to find here some advice for my Lotus that I am discovering.

Nice to live in the South of France, that was 35 years ago for me.
I prefer dark colour +2’s, yours is stunning.
Born, and brought home from the hospital (no seat belt (wtf)) in a baby!
Find out where the limits are, and start from there

Welcome Robert
I also live in France but in the South West. I also have a Plus2 and a Daimler v8 250. I often wonder what the Plus 2 would have been like with the Edward Turner v8 fitted, which was apparently being considered by Chapman at the time.
Regards
Steve
