Description
Stored since 1987 in a very dry garage belonging to my neighbour.
Usual chassis rust so will need new chassis (Lotus Bits are now making them) or conversion to an Excel or S2 chassis.
On the plus side it has a very good interior (headlining is dropping)
Paint looks good from a distance but less good close up: I have seen worse, and you could live with it. Runs but not very well: timing suspect and ideally would be fitted with electronic ignition.
Manual steering, nicer than PAS
New exhaust
New tyres
Carbs rebuild kit supplied

New brakes, fuel pump, brake master cylinder
Petrol tank refurbished
Headlining kit supplied
