I BOUGHT THIS LOTUS APPROX 3 YEARS AGO, IT RAN BUT WAS VERY TATTY SO I SET ABOUT GETTING JOBS DONE. FIRSTLY IT WAS REPAINTED WHICH MADE THE INTERIOR LOOK SHABBY SO I HAD THAT RETRIMMED IN FULL WINE LEATHER AND WHAT A SUPERB JOB THEY DID (AT GREAT EXPENSE!)HAVING RETRIMMED IT THE DASH LOOKED SHABBY SO A NEW ONE WAS MADE AND VENEERED WITH TOP QUALITY BURR WALNUT. IT THEN WENT TO THE MECHANIC WHO DID THE BRAKING SYSTEM, THE COOLING SYSTEM, THE CARBS ETC ETC ETC HOWEVER DURING THIS TIME LOCKDOWN CAME ALONG AND THERE IT SAT, THE PAINTWORK HAS CRAZED MAINLY ON THE ROOF AND DRIVERS DOOR BUT THE END RESULT IT NOW NEEDS A REPAINT IF YOU WANT IT TO LOOK SPECTACULAR.THE CAR STARTS AND DRIVES BUT WILL NOW NEED A GOOD TUNE UP, HOWEVER, COULD BE USED AS IS IF YOUR NOT SEEKING PERFECTION. THE LAST JOB ON THE LIST WAS DUE TO BE A FULL WIRING LOOM WHICH I WOULD RECOMMEND AS ITS 50 YEAR OLD WIRING AND BECOME A BIT OF A BIRDS NEST OVER ITS MANY YEARS OF SERVICE. HEADLAMPS WORK BUT DRIVERS BRACKET NEEDS ADJUSTING.BEST THING IS TO VIEW, IT HAS ULTRA RARE ORIGINAL WOLFRACE KNOCK ON WHEELSTHESE ARE FINALLY GOING UP IN VALUE AND AT A RATE OF KNOTS SO WOULD BE A GOOD PROJECT TO FINISH AS WOULD BE WORTH 30K I HAVE LOST ENTHUSIASM SO NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO BENEFIT FROM MUCH HARD EXPENSIVE WORK THAT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE. THOUSANDS SPENT, BUMPERS WERE £1500 ON THEIR OWNANY QUESTIONS PLEASE MESSAGE OR TEXT/CALL NICK ON 07771 860824I CAN ARRANGE TRANSPORT IF REQUIRED (I WOULD RECOMMEND CAR IS TRANSPORTED AS NOT BEEN USED FOR A FEW YEARS, IT DOES DRIVE BUT WOULD RECOMMEND YOU GET CHECKED FIRST FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY)

JUST TO CLARIFY - A WIRING LOOM WOULD BE AROUND £500 AND ABOUT THE SAME TO FIT, THE LOTUS LOOKS GREAT APART FROM A FEW AREAS OF CRAZING (THEY ALL HAVE THEM) SO WITH £1000 SPENT ON A NEW LOOM AND A GOOD TUNE UP THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL LOOKING USEABLE CAR, IT WILL NEED RESPRAYING IF YOU ARE SEEKING A SHOW QUALITY CAR, THIS MIGHT COST CIRCA £4-5K BUT WOULD MAKE THE LOTUS A 30K CAR SO EITHER A CHEAP GOOD LOOKING USEABLE CAR OR PLENTY OF MARGIN FOR PROFIT ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A PAINT SPRAYER IF YOU ARE IN THE TRADE.
