Lotus Eclat in Germany

Post by Bavarian Éclat »

Hello,

I just wanted to introduce myself since I am new on this platform.
My Name is Stefan and since October last year i own a 1982 Lotus Eclat S2.2 Riviera.

I am based in southeastern Bavaria and it would be great to learn about my car, restoration, tips and tricks :D

Cheers
Stefan

Welcome Stefan! The Series 2.2 Riviera is a fantastic and very rare car. Lovely. Is it also left hand drive?

Thank you Pete.

Yes it really is. I have not seen much Lotus on car meetings (besides Esprit or Elise) but never an Eclat.

It is Right Hand Drive, which is a little awkward here in Germany, but I get used to it. :)
