Apply PPF after painting front of car
lotuseaters replied to exeterjeep's topic in Lotus / Motoring / Cars Chat
Yes happy to put my input in when I ran the body shop we used this firm to do our paint protection https://www.mintcondition-uk.com/ And for what I remember after painting the car and then putting it through the baking process he used to say leave it for around 7-10 days before fitting the ppf personally as long as the work was oven baked I would leave it for a couple of weeks then do it . -
Sent you a PM

The car on Classic driver is the Jim Loose car vin 10307 I registered it in the UK when I imported it from the US, its going on Italian plates soon . So not a genuine Essex .
-
To be fair to Spyros he made me an offer but it just wasn't quite enough . If you are interested in the car why don't you just come have a look at it ?

Thanks Barry 👍

So after the November lockdown I took a call from Fabrizio Giugiaro the son of Giorgetto and he visited my place to look at the Esprits I had on offer. The car him and his dad was going to buy was heading for there museum in Turin Italy. He chose my fully restored white S1 Great choice !

Mike Essex RHD numbered cars ran up to 25, number 24 was renumbered 100 so there was no 27.
-
Okay thanks Jonny and Dave , I will keep looking .

I have two sets of Compomotive alloys that I need refurbished, Lepsons who I usually use won't touch three piece split rims can anyone recommend a decent firm to do these ?

Essex vin number 10896 was a pre-production model so not a numbered car . Speak to Steve Tryner he has the full list of Essex cars .

The way the auction went today is 90% of the Cars didn’t make there estimate and as I believe the reserve is within the estimate that’s how they work it . With the Essex it was below the estimate but they will try and do a deal with the seller and the winning bidder so who knows. Thats why they put in the small print you can’t sell it within 28 days without paying the sellers commission so they can still try and put a deal together .

https://www.coys.co.uk/info/buying VAT is definitely payable as Coys are VAT registered
-
Don’t forget there is a sellers fee of 10%+VAT of the selling price unless you do a deal with them

They are 100% correct you will never get a perfect colour match with a metallic colour without blending it , let them blend it or you will never be happy with it .
