Description

Time to change had lots of fun in this car but I would like to try something else now maybe a crossfire or something with a v8 .I would consider swapping with a cash balance either way on something of interest. As for the Lotus it is best to have a look at it for yourself it is driven regularly on club runs so the Ks will be going up

Hi there. You said the chassis is galvanized. Only the series 2 from 1980 had a galvanized chassis - unless yours has been changed? I have a '76 501 and mine is just painted. nzemale (324) • 11:18 am, Sat, 3 Jan
