Right...was thinking dark blue with a silver stripe down middle.

Now thinking silver with blue stripe down middle and blue wheel arches and black Pro Race 1.2's.


Any other ideas.......????

My old man is doing most of the building. But i'll be involved when poss. But they are in Norfolk, i'm in Manchester so its not like I can pop over on days off etc!

He's leaving me to come up with ideas for the asthetical side of things.

Love the white/black theme, would have looked even nicer if Id ever got round to putting some nice black wheels on it!

I was wondering what a lotus 7 looked like. The guy I bought the Evo from has just bought one as a project with a new 2ltr 16v engine.

Or a Caterham?

Theres naff all genuine lotus 7's about these days. Most are replicas like Caterhams, Westfields etc.

We are building a Birkin. Same as a Caterham but better engineered.

Yellow and green are historical Lotus colours.

My uncle has a Lotus 7, I forget which version but it is the one the purists frown upon because it is fibreglass.

He put a Duratec into that, albeit it is a 2.3 and it made a nats cock under 260 BHP on a base map. Just his exhaust system was £1k as a foreigner!
