Hi Guys

Just signed the papers on this today. Iam over the moon with it.
It is in very good condition and have got an Uprated 170 hp Renault Gordini Crossflow engine, built by a Swedish Lotus Europa/Renault Alpine specialist.
It handles like it is on rails, and it is so much faster that my old Pinto powered Dax Rush. Here is the pics. Sorry for the quality of the cell phone ones.

Fair enough.

What's the rear visibility like? Not too bad?

It is really bad. That was also the reason why the twincams got the Notch in the roofline.
