Pretty cars

Love the wheels, in fact with the colour scheme, it kinda looks like a baby Muria

Is that Chris Evans driving it?

The second one looks like it’s braking, the first one looks like it’s had the wishbones put on upside down

& I should know, one of my early attempts at Lotus DIY saw me put Europa wishbones on the wrong way up then it looked like it was about to take off, & felt like it behind the wheel too. I decided to use a reputable garage after that

Look like the second one is riding on a spyder chassis to me

too much sausage Brendan ooh err missus

Thanks Rob - does that look like Piper in the PAX seat? I had my hand on his leg just pretending it was!

Suspension all in order - adjustable ones on the front with shorter springs - Lotus supplied ones made it sit like the blue car.

Revolutions were black with polished rim originally - both look nice.

It’s on the original chassis (incredibly) protected over the years by the built in waxoiler/rust protection device - the twin cam in the front!!!

Sausages and Elans should not be mixed!
How about this one? Co-owned with a friend and therefore joins a 340r and Exige S1.

Superb Jolly - thats a lot tidier than mine!

One day I’ll get chance to restore it. Like driving it too much to take it off the road.

It will run till it dies big stylie
