The Lotus Grand Tourers

Hi - as usual I am up for stand assistance and/or providing a car for display. Following the roof lining exploits at the Resto show in March (which I still have to finish off!), and the re-upholstering of the seats (photos will be posted when I find a moment to do so), Lillith is looking way tidier...
