Who wouldn't want to own a Lotus?

Posted by directordanw, 15 March 2012 · 5 views

Oops! I've bought a Lotus. And at a little over two hundred quid of ebay, with no engine or gearbox and my mechanical experience limited to running repairs on my MGB I'm thinking this might be going to be some project. Still with a 5-speed box secured from one of the forum members, a 907 of unknown quality purchased from Preston and a transporter rented what could possibly go wrong?

As you say, "What could go wrong?"

Actually, they are pretty simple cars so you just have to be thorough and thoughtful but shouldn't come up against too many obstacles which will need special equipment or special tools.

Probably the worst job is replacing the windscreen. Other than that it should be plain sailing. Good luck and let us all know how you get on.
