It was an interesting talk, though I did not learn much new to me.

John Douglas is a local person interested in the history of buildings not specifically Lotus cars, but he does own and built it himself a Lotus-7/Caterham look-alike. I think he said it was a GTS.


Possibly this one:

GTS tuning might be a useful source for some parts, if we can identify the correct ones.
