Is that ok on adonised ( can’t spell that) stuff? I actually have some of that 

[Barrykearley]

ahh - now normal autosol can be a bit harsh. Charlie’s panther trims he refinished by hand. Maybe look at this

This is very nice, but now you have to be careful of this mirror finish when you take photos!

Dan’s missus said it won’t be a problem.

Right it is done apart from need to get some sticky pads to put the number plates back on. Also got to try out my cover Bibs got me about 8 Months ago. What an absolute gargantuan task that was.

Save on the sticky pads

[Dan E]

I got so sticky pads in the office so will pick them up tomorrow, not that it matters as I don’t want to drive it anymore and get it all dirty. 

[Barrykearley]

Make sure you stick em on level

That reminds me of an old computer game I used to play, Death Track, featuring all kinds of armed and armored sportcars in a demolition race. It included a yellow Esprit, red Countach and blue 911 if memory serves me. I had lots of fun running the races, I think I usually drove the Esprit, even before realizing what it was.

Perfect conditions for a cracking car. 🙂

Coming up to 25 years old and still looking almost like new

 

[Barrykearley]

That’s just made me leak 🥰

[Fridge]

I'm obviously biased but I too find it hard to believe it's 25 years old.

[Jacques]

And it's still looking SO much better than, seriously, most other cars, sport models or not.

Kind regards,

Found a few pics of some old lotus dealers - will post now and then, the first is this esprit for sale - at these days would be a good price - so where is this one.. no prizes though. There is also a white M100 behind.

Thought I'd get a few more guesses, but this is the Christow Carriage company, that used to be on the Marsh Barton estate in Exeter. Had my excel serviced there a couple of times. The owner owned the scrap yard behind. When they closed  bought a load of their signs etc.
