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.

  It went to the Canadian Maritimes after the owner sold it. 

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?
