Yes please, one of each!  :pirate:

That's a very nice picture of Lotus early road cars. Captures the vibe well.

The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

A sibling of the 47 was the type 62...only two were produced and they both survive today. One in Japan and Hollywood, you can see the continued semblance of Europa flavor in this rare machine.

Thank you Richard, at Classic Team Lotus for the opportunity to share your photo...ld

Remembering the days when it took three chaps to install...

Begging my wife to come over and help me with the car...
 because I need an extra hand, finger, eye or leg to get the job done.

If blackmail fails, cash is king...ld

Looks like they are working on the demist vents and fitting the crash-pad.

I will soon be fitting a new hand brake cable to a new chassis for 4688R. The chassis is currently being painted with multiple coats of paint with a brush to get into all the corners, and it is about 5ft off the ground.

Fitting the cable will be so easy in the standing position.

An o'l sod wondering lonely ... taking time the only way he knows.

Could it be the inspiration for the Jethro Tull favorite ?
