Brainy Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Hi there, I have just picked up my first Lotus and I can't quite believe it but I managed to get a S1! It has no history other than Scott Walker rescued it from the back of the Lotus Factory where it had sat for 4 years after being bought for the CEO they then sacked. I got Morland Jones to re commission it and now I am out enjoying it as much as I can! I am going to run it for a year and then I think I want to return it to its orignal Bronze colour with brown interior - I know everyone likes white but after 18 owners and no history it would be nice to start again with originality! Any advice, or history of the car would be gratefully received and if anyone has a Roman Bronze car I would love to see it some time!

TAR Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Welcome to the forums. There is a picture of that car which appeared on another thread very recently, but I'm sorry I can't find it. Good luck with your restoration works. Quote It's getting there...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brainy Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Thank you guys. I am am member of a few forums and this is the best welcome I have had - really encouraging. I was chased down on SW London on Friday by a guy in a F40 who wanted to talk about the Lotus - so I know what you mean about attention! I don't think there is a Bronze one in the UK I think it would be the right thing to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
