After Engine and gearbox being out for new GB bearings, the diff out for overhaul and new output shafts I bolted it all back together, got in it and drove 400 miles from South of Rouen via Dieppe and Newhaven to Manchester in a day and it never missed a beat.

I love my Lotus

I saw your car there, you were a brave man to buy that car from so far away, but it is absolutely lovely, well done! :)
