The Lotus Grand Tourers

. What’s the latest time I could meet at the supermarket to drive in together? Last year we met at Tesco's at 8;00 am and drove in around 8:15 to 8:20 if I recall. Personally, I think we would have got a better location had we gone slightly later. Previous year I think the meet up was a little late...

Never mind the outside. What's going on inside these days. Not just this car. 15" Touchscreen -Ahhhhh and as for the "55.0-inch augmented-reality head-up display", just how much info do you need in your eyeline (or not as the case may be). You're sitting just 2 feet away from it remember. I'd have n...

That's the way I'd like to it, but I don't want to start butchering a good spoiler, so it's on hold.

. I have to work at half effort and half speed, but I'm making progress.

Welcome back Mike. Glad things are looking up for you. If I could do the above, if be going 4 times faster than recent progress

Tony

. They have already said they are very busy, so not sure how long it will take.

I've been waiting 33 years to get my car back on the road, so if they are on my critical path, I'll be very pleased.

. Re-dying the dash in situ is the next mission. Your work looks very familiar. Did mine last year. There's a topic on here I did at the time about things the suppliers don't tell you. I'll find a link letter. I made the initial mistake of trying to do the dash in situ. Spent 2 hours trying to mask...

They've sent me two passes.
One for 'Groups' and one for 'Heavy vehicles' .
Mr Chapman wouldn't be amused.

I looked at a wrapped car in the west midlands 3 years ago when I was looking for a car.
As I recall, it didn't look too bad.

Well done Marcus.
Those piccies don't do justice to what you've achieved at the rear.
More piccies please, especially the special interior treatment and dash detail ( and the rear end).
Tony

Sorry to read of your recent experience.
Family trumps work on cars at such times. Wishing you all well and get back to the Lotus when it feels right.
Tony

Sorry Pete.
I thought I'd replied.
Yes. Definitely interested. Would have initially gone closer to original size, but can't be seen so could be happy to go away from original .
Tony

. (and not driving it far from home……) Been there. Done that. With my recent spark gremlins, I lost confidence and one evening did 10 miles, never actually being more than a mile from home just in case. Please to say confidence does return, but I'm yet to venture onto a motorway. - maybe I should l...

. One of the rear brake bleed nipples is broken off and they need bleeding which is a pain Just occurred to me the rear bleed nipples are very accessible ( one of the few things that is on an elite rear suspension). It's got drums on the rear and the slave cylinder has an exit pipe running under th...

Why would someone get it so close, then sell off as 'not having the time to finish'? Looks a good starting point if the respray is anything like quality, but something does not quite stack up for me here. Trevor : don't suppose any of the photos show the VIN and engine numbers? Interested for the re...

Based on recent trends, the trade seem to be asking (and I assume getting near to) mid teens (. sometimes high teens) for what I must assume are well sorted, good paint and interior cars. A good car on private sale ought therefore to be able to attract low teens, but it could be a long wait for the ...
