Title: S2 Type 54/1044 1968
Post by: Alain06 on Wednesday,October 16, 2019, 11:59:14 AM

Hello
The car was completely restored in 2015.
It is equipped with a 93 HP Renault R16 engine.
I’m changing the shock absorbers and some silent blocks

   :Welcome:

  Alain06,

  Glad you found your way here! Did you do the work yourself? I believe your a first from France.
You will find a lot of helpful advice here. Did I mention we love photos , and I see you mastered the technique in resizing them . Beautiful car, is it your first Lotus?

Thank you for your welcome.
I bought it in France 4 months ago in this state and I am in the process of making its suspensions reliable.
It’s my first Lotus but I also have a 1969 Alpine Renault A110.
Alain

Interesting, that does not look like my R16 engine at all.

It has a Renault crossflow/hemi installed.  Common swap back in the day.  I did the same to my S1.  Nice engine with lots of potential.
