Better pictures to follow, once detailed, by Tom Blackmore of Divine Detailing, in a couple of weeks time.

Just done a drive from Scotland to Leeds (took the windy hilly A68 route over the Northumberland hills, rather than the A1, for a 'spirited' first drive). Have to say it's an amazing car....big grin.

My Lotus Sports Racer is now for sale at Pure Lotus in Wetherby if anyone's interested.

Fab looking car David - hopes it gives you a lot of joy smile

Now if you'd just turned those front wheels 45 degrees to the left in the picture.....beefy monster.

Very nice looking car, I really like the different coloured inserts in the rear lights, not seem those before but they work well. smile

Are they standard on the N400?

Thats one of the few distinguishing points on an N400 (and the Ring stitching)
All the other bits and be retrofitted to any other car.
Nice looking car that!

Small world. I've got exactly the same car as you and I used to drive a Lotus and I live in Yorkshire.

Welcome to the N400 club! Very nice looking car and glad you're enjoying it! What number is it?

With regard the light inserts, I had a new set sprayed orange to match the car and keep the original silver pair safely packaged up in the cupboard, in case I want to revert to them in the future.
