I suppose part of me thought that when I bought it, but above all I wanted a different Lotus.
It was a complete dog in wolf’s clothing! Sold by a ‘reputable’ Lotus dealer but it had so much wrong I got them to buy it back after 10 days under the Sale of Goods Act.
Here’s one :
What a great thread!
Ive always wanted a 2+2 Elan, and after seeing Ollys latest project today at Pheonix Motorsport today only made me want one even more!
Wishlist:
Elan 2+2,
996 GT3RS (dunno why Ive always prefered this model),
Ferrari Dino,
Evora GTE
Glad i did as not many good original examples of these few left…
RS2000,
Tickford turbo Capri,
Saph Cosworth,
M3 Evo.

Tickford turbo Capri [/quote]
I had a tickford turbo XR4I
Bought it with 6 holed pistons and rebuilt it at home,took 1mm off the new piston crowns to lower compression and ran it on 20 psi boost …
The thing would light the rears at serious speeds …Very quick. In It’s day …
Gearbox longevity was a problem back then too !
