Don’t Be Foolish - got to say your car looks fantastic. A real credit and would love to see it one day.

Looks amazing really great work.

Sorry can’t help but it looks amazing!

Just got to say it looks great

Well when I see a 1981 Triumph Acclaim HL for £3750 I guess the days of a £5000 Lotus are long gone

Has anyone got the latest version of this price guide ? Think it says Elite in excellent condition £18k, Eclat £12k and Excel £15k i might have been dreaming it of course ! Guy

Whereabouts inLondon are you Peter ? Guy

Hi just checking what happened here - did we get to safe keep the stuff Peter kindly offered ?

I was wondering how things were going ! Great to see more progress

Peter - thanks very much for posting - a very nice thing you did I know it, or rather knew it, very well as it my Dad's company car when new. Mark Britton (Loose Cannon) did some research into Rivieras and determined that this one was in the Len Street showroom in Chelsea and got sent back to the factory for the Riviera upgrades and then went back to Len Street where we saw it. I think we had it until 1984 only I saw the car about a year ago at Lakeside Engineering and I think it is Henry that owns it now. He was doing it up and had it in a barn in Oxfordshire somewhere. In fact I think Mark might have gone to see Henry....and I am sure he would love the information. If we can't get hold of him can I very politely suggest that maybe you could eave it with me or someone else for safe keeping until we can get it to him ? It would be nice to hold with the car.

Yay! got one for £2 (and £2.60 postage). Happy Days

Blimey that book brings back memories - I used to have one too. I wonder where it is now...? Might have to look on eBay now

Lakeside Engineering in Addlestone / Max500 in Guildford ?

I am slightly in awe of this to be honest. Looks unbelievably fantastic.

looks very nice Tom
