Hi all thought I would introduce myself as I am new here. My name is Scott and my resto project maybe considered a bit too young for many of you but at 23 shes nearly classic age! She is a 1985 Lotus Turbo Esprit which I am bringing back to original condition. I just love all old cars not just lotus's. I would like to buy something earlier at some point maybe an elan or maybe a Austin 7. My first classic was a 1972 MG Midget which was real fun.

Welcome Scott.

Though I live in the south (Herne Bay) I like to think of East Anglia as my spiritual home.

Welcome to the forum Scott. I DON'T live in Norwich! In fact I couldn't live much further away from Norwich. (My out-laws used to live in Loddon, so maybe I qualify????)

I would love your Lotus! There are some cars that should never be washed - one should lovingly lick the dirt off! Lotus is one!
