Strange hard top

[lowdrag]

Excuse me barging in to your room, but I spotted this yesterday at a car meet here in France. Seems a great idea, since you can take the "gullwings" off and put them in the boot it seems. Can you enlighten me?



Secondly, I spotted this lookalike but have no idea what it is. Over you you cognoscenti.

I think the hardtop is an aftermarket one. I've seen a few for sale on eBay.

The second car is a Donkervoort.

The hardtop is an aftermarket thing, I think they modify an existing Lotus hardtop rather than building it from scratch, though.

Th last one I saw on ebay was priced over £1400.00, don't know what/if it went.

We have several, but this is a local club which meets monthly in the Sarthe. The other is first Sunday of the month at Leclerc north of Le Mans

Someone on NORLOG has one, looks pretty cool in the flesh.

Hi and thanks for the reply. Hoping to make the Lotus meeting at La Ferté Gaucher in March. Who knows, might pass by Le Mans one weekend
