LHD 029

That's the Swedish car I always used to see at Donnington IIRC Steve. Think the chap used to drive it there and back every year. Did the owner paint the picture in Marks' post above as its the same car?

does anybody has picture's of the number 25 of the Essex list? chassis number 950.. does it still has no MOT?

[nello]

Very little detail on that one Tocus - Supplied new from Portman Garage - an early Decemeber '80 car. Supplied new to a Mr D Brierton. Original eg. was MPW 777W (Registered Jan '81) but I also have it on a Private plate - 375 ETR. No pictures I'm afraid. Its not listed on the DVLA site as SORN (off-road) but theres no record of any current/recent MoT and it was last Taxed in 1996 - so fearing the worst...... sadly.

Number 25 is still alive Neil .

Its been in storage for sometime I have spoke to the current owner a few times and had a few emails with him .

I think it’s low mileage and in pretty good order .

@lotuseaters - have you got any more of that meeting - non Essex?

[lotuseaters]

Sorry that’s all I have a customer emailed them to me yesterday 

[cbclotus]

Great pictures .Thanks for posting ....Mike

Love the black one with the silver stripes/decals & all silver Compomotives - surprisingly don’t think I’ve seen that combination before🤗

[nello]

Interesting - OK so the first one is No.17 - a car I know very well as you know. Are you sure this was 1989? That was before Paul bought the car but as far as I am aware the previous owner did not attend car meets etc. It looks like back of the boxes on the Craner Curves which I know we did go to though cannot remember parking the car there with other Loti and that would have been in to the 90's. The roped off car is the ex- Thatcher No.100 car (with definately Blue wheel centres!) and next to the (agreed nice!) black one is OPW 665X which was No.5 - I believe that car is in France now.

The guy who sent me the pictures said it was 1989 so I can only go by what he tells me . 

And yes you are correct that is number 5 but not in France I own it now I bought it a few years ago .

[nello]

You trying to buy them all Mark
