I've been wanting one of those things for a couple years. Well sorted ones seem very uncommon though, as no one seems to want to bother.

My Dad restored one about 10 years ago for a customer and it was a dream to drive.  Very nice car when it was done.  It went to the Canadian Maritimes after the owner sold it.  Odd ball but cool cars.

Really!? I wonder where that is then. It's a pretty small Lotus community and a well organised British car community out here. it's hiding somewhere. What colour was it?
