There you go....

Only missing the daily workhorses which are a Forester Sti and Disco 4 HSE... but they are always “dirty”....

Is that a Type 25......I had one from new but it was the original one not the later 111s version. In with the purchase was a trip to the factory, and visit to Lotus Racing to meet Clive Chapman, a Lotus F1 poster, Type 25 model car and a History of Lotus book signed by Colin and Johnny Herbert......Loved that little car.

Phil yes it’s an original Type 25 non-vvc and I too got to do the Classic Lotus tour and sat in one of the JPS F1 cars. I bought mine from the then Lotus CEO at Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2002. I still have the Clive signed poster in my office at work. The car is now in Sydney although I miss belting it around West Sussex when I got out of London.

Brilliant....Sold mine for the Mark 1 Exige. A few years later saw it at a scrap yard as the owner crashed it..... ........ yep sat in a Camal Lotus F1 car. I'm small and it was still tight. Still have the signed poster tw o but sold the book only a few weeks ago. You never know we may have been on the factory tour at the same time.

Is that at hpe?

 

[Dan!]

Is that at hpe?

Yes... For some time now. But I'm told it's on the home stretch. In truth, with the weather as it is there's no hurry. But I do hope it'll be back by the time things warm up a bit.

I’ve got to pop next door to get some heads machined in the next couple of weeks, I can have a nosey if you want.

By all means pop in and have a look and a chat with Dan, but I'm in regular contact with him and try to balance gentle persuasion and leaving him alone to get on with it.

If you were say anything to him, simply say that I appreciate all his efforts and can't wait to get it back. Thanks

My son's HPE being 'operated on' at Mt. Panorama, Bathurst.

That's Simon Scuffham on the left...

 

[Dan!]

Simon Scuffham, that's a name I've not heard in a while!

There's something wrong with the pic/link/vid that you posted, I'd be interested to see if you can repost

 

[happydaze]

Not much good at this stuff. Hope this works:-

 

[Dan!]

Nice one! Blue exige...

Is it this one?

 

[happydaze]

No, this one...

 

[Dan!]

Mixing with the big boys GT racing, nice!

Thought I recognised the shop and quality of work! He set up the geo on my Sport 160 last summer - brilliant quality work - always seems to be flat out!

Took a ride in a friends Evora 410 in the summer.

Fantastic ride compared to our GSs (one of the reasons he updated) and the sound from the sports exhaust was epic... esp as he left the farm and floored it down the valley.
