Well done Adrian, lovely looking car, I've got a bit of a thing for estates!

It's still got the twin carb setup on the 1800. Current owner sent me pretty comprehensive vids of the car so deposit has been paid.

Well done. When i first saw that car on the net a few years ago I thought it would make someone very happy to own it. Looks like your turn now

Ask me again after it's been to the body shop

It should be off to the restoration bodyshop soon, a Lotus Europa that work has had there is almost ready so the truck and trailer needs to go down to collect it - no sense it going down empty

Plan is to sort the holes in the sills and driver's side front wheel arch, sort out the bubbling and a minor dent and hopefully avoid a re-spray. Whilst it's there I've asked for a stainless exhaust to be done as the current one is leaking and for the fuel and brake lines to be re-done, bit of a wiff of fuel at the mo unfortunately. It may require a full respray, if it does will keep the colour the same.

I've already made one major change, the wheels. Avon safety rims now fitted with Avon tyres which I thought was a fitting combination. I'll also fit LED bulbs to the headlights and probably one of the reversing sensor number plate surrounds. I plan to get the car up to MOT standard mechanically for safety reasons.
