Car purchased! Good price too. Needs a fair bit of tidying up and some serious cleaning!

Party on!
Congratulations!
Just cleaning it will be a “bonding” experience.
Should be easy to restore it to its former glory.
About time to, everybody should have one!
CONGRATS!
Looks like a Datalogger you got yourself there. That come with it? Not a cheap one either by the looks of it.
Ian
Yep, well done
I’m positive that it’s Roy Duggan’s old car
good on yer…
looks like it’ll come together pretty well… also you got a few extras with it… nice.

Yup. Data Logger was in the car along with the FMT 200 rally amp (hmm expensive!) There is an exiges.com sticker on the engine cover…

Is there a story behind this? Am keen to find out any history etc. If the former owner is around, I will be happy to do a deal for the other keys, catalytic converter etc…
Cheers

Welcome and a good choice to. There might be faster cars out there but they aren’t half the fun
Looks like the tool tray, i mean boot needs a good cleaning.

Hi Ed
No particular story here. Roy was an early owner, & he came to a few trackdays at which quite a few of us were also attending. Roy is typical of most of the members on this bbs - easy to get on with, & has a good sense of humour.
Anyway, glad to hear that the car is at a good home - I’m sure that you will love it, although they do have a habit of occasionally behaving like a naughty teenager
yep, I do remember him as well… and Rob is spot on
laters,

I plan to look after her! First stop will be Lotus Specialist Servicing at Hethel for a re-build! She is quite a mess at the moment and needs some serious love and care! As for behaving like a naughty teenager, I have just sold my F355 to make the step up (hmm…) to the Exige. I am hoping that the bills will be just a little bit less! My last service was kicking around the �4000 mark! Not going to miss that part at all!

Lap times will be less too!

Just to complete the circle, I’ve just (unwittingly) bought Eds old F355 !
