First impressions.

First, brief, trip in the car today with Max driving.

Really good performance and the suspension, grip, roadholding and balance are outstanding -  it was years ahead of the industry at the time it was built. 

Noisy and a few rattles, but I knew that would be the case. With a 4 speed gearbox and ratios chosen for acceleration  - above 65 in 4th is loud! 

Overall, really delighted. 

Still a few snags to be investigated and fixed.

I'm now a member of Club Lotus and have asked them to carry out an "agreed value" valuation for insurance purposes. The car in now rather more valuable than a year ago - I hope!
