Hi a quick post to say hi. Have previously posted on Facebook Grand Tourers when the car was at Lotusbits, thought it was time to join here!.

It's now running and back home. Lots of small items to work through over summer and the diff will need replacement sooner rather than later, however it's now in a usable state for the new year.

Nice to see a Yellow one. Would love to see a close up of those wheels.

Welcome to the forum. Love the car! There are one or two other very nice yellow ones out there - the colour really suits the car imho!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome - I suspect a long voyage of discovery lies ahead...

I'll try and get some more decent pics at the weekend. The wheels are quite "special" in that when they were done someone got carried away with the yellow paint and covered the mating faces. These have now been stripped off as it presented a potential safety issue...
The previous owner was obviously not too keen on them and attempted to remedy this by using paint stripper on one so it looks a right state.
