That's me with the BRG Lotus polo arms-folded! Another trip out with Paul and myself - that again is my Red HC Turbo behind. I think that one was circa mid-90's at the Shuttleworth Collection near Old Warden. Thanks for posting when I still had hair! Which FB page were they on Dave?

nello Posted February 8 Author Report Share Posted February 8 (edited) I've just replied to Steve on FB Dave with some pics of the car from when it was For Sale at Speedmaster cars in Bradford in 2007.

I test drove 012 at Speedmaster Cars and decided it wasn't for me. Yes, it was exported to France very shortly afterwards. I've got lots of pics of it that I took at Speedmaster if Dave is interested - I don't do FB. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
