Here’s mine, had her since March. Thoroughly impressed. Managed a few track days and plenty of trips out this year. Few improvements being made over winter.

I could not find the lotus picture related thread, so I post it here, just came across a very strange one, build on a Europa chassis, by someone in the USA?

its a cross between a Lamborghini lotus Europa? never seen such built before :-) not so pretty as it is, its 'different'

Pic 2 looks like it's been beaten up and is badly bruised and swollen!

“Right lad, we’ve binned that old Lotus Europa bodyshell and now we can pop on my own more contemporary design”.

“Oh bugger it doesn’t fit properly. Tell you what son, let’s both jump up and down on the nose until it finally snaps into place.”



“Nice work mate. That Giorgio Giugiaro can shove his Esprit where the sun don’t shine. Get Colin Chapman on the blower: I think we’re on to a winner here mate!”

the nose is more that it looks its down a lot, its mostly because that black part that it looks like so?
