Well its for sale again! My mate Mark bought it before I could last May. He has replaced it with a Mk 1 MX-5 with pop-up headlights that only pop-up on demand :lol Much less character!

It made one appearance at The Buckles, but that was the longest journey it managed without breaking down. Seems to have an ignition or fuel pump fault which he has been unable to rectify, although I don't think it could be THAT hard to track it down if you were familiar with 70s classics :? Car has had lots of documented restoration work done before Mark acquired it, although it's certainly not in concours condition. Anyway, it's on the forecourt of Coles & Snowdon again at same price as last year: http://www.colesandsnowdon.co.uk/stock.php

No, I must have lost it somewhere, Al. All I've got is this odd-shaped scrap of canvas in the boot which I suppose I might be able to use in an emergency.

Hope you had a good topless drive down today? See you later.

Ahh, the era when Lotus needed pop-up headlights in most models they released!!
