130/5 plus 2 found and bought

search is over!
Bought myself a pretty much untouched 73 year 130/5.
It's a none runner due to being sat a while but I'm told has good oil pressure under cranking.
Bodywork looked good although needs a respray.
Chassis (original I think) all looked good.
Few bits missing so I'll be putting a wanted list together when it arrives and getting it back to its best over the winter.
I know colour is not to everyone's liking but I think these type of cars can handle 'loud' colours!
Got to get my coach house cleared of junk now so I can bring it home and get started on it.
Looking forward to finding out all the joys and woes of owning a lotus!
I'll get some better pics up when it arrives.
