FFS, you DIDN'T talk me out of a Lotus Carlton

[_Nathan_]

Love it. Did I see this driving through Sheldon on Friday 2nd May ?

[RemyMartin]

You utter legend!

One of the most iconic cars of all time IMO and its in my top 3 cars to own.

Very jealous. Enjoy it. Can't believe how awesome they look as well.

You have got to do a thread on that Capri.

Hi Mike, might just do that,

Great cars. Had one for sale at work back in the late 90's that I got to drive a couple of times.

Loved it.

[DanielJames]

I love threads like this.

You should be able to see where the usage is highest - statistics in photobucket - my bet is PH and your LC pics

You used to be able to, but they broke that bit some years back and still haven't fixed it, good old PB.

Stopped using PB years ago, it's terrible. If you need a good, free image host (without stupid watermarks like Thumbsnap, which often obscures part of the picture you want to see...) try Imgur.

Enjoy the car.
Great work to get it all together.

Did you ask d.v.l.a. to rectify the mistake on the registration document when you sent it off ?

[Hooli]

Brilliant car OP, they are one of my dream cars.

How much did the scissor lift set you back? Never used one before but seems like a really good idea!

Let me get this straight... you knocked your kitchen wall down to put your car in?

What did your missus say when she returned???

[Beedub]

love these cars and so nice to see one being re-built basically!!

[C. Grimsley]

Love it, as a youngster I used to drive by a garage circa 1996 that had three of these, boy if I had the money.
