I am sceptical of the volume of bread that can accommodate.
You can get buns in it.
Or flatbreads, I suppose.

Buns are more fun, especially the ones that you can get in the passenger seat.

Fabby! I had a similar plaque on my Europa Special.

My second Lotus ... I'm normally a Porsche fan for this kind of car ... but GT3's are now so big and I have fallen out with the Porsche Dealer method of new car allocation ... 'Luvving it !

And it is FAST !

This 1972 Europa Twin Cam is now in Australia, but here it is when I owned it in 2012.

That's a coincidence, my 1972 Europa Twin Cam went to Australia too! Sold it around ten years ago as I was struggling to get in and out. I had it painted in Gold Leaf colours, looked fantastic and handled like a dream. Must learn how to put pictures up.

That is the only car (and colour) I would part with my Type 25sc for. Stunner!

From 2012, my 1990 Excel resting after a long hot drive to a lovely farmhouse in Umbria.

My new-to-me Sports Racer. Bought unseen during lockdown and just delivered.

Inevitably it needs a few bits doing - the biggest being an issue with the hard top mounting point on the O/S/F - but it is everything I was hoping for from behind the wheel.

It's my first Lotus and one of the last cars on my bucket list after fast forwarding through several Porsches, M-cars and RS meganes in recent years.

Looks great. Love the stripe - simple, purposeful.

Good luck with sorting the roof fixing.

In anticipation of Boris announcing total freedom to drive British made cars last Sunday, I detailed our Roadster and got it ready for the summer. Clay bar plus three coats of wax. Clean and feed the leather. Very satisfying. Unfortunately, no relaxation on leisure drives from Mr Johnson.

You can go for a drive if you want to. Anyone who suggests otherwise, including Johnson, is talking nonsense,
