I remember this car very well - this is what makeover dreams are made of - 100 grands worth of LOTUS tuning and styling!! Just one small problem with this car - the body shape is till a LADA!! Shame, just imagine what that kind of expenditure would do to a Mk1 or Mk2 !!!
I don't own this anymore - I just can't be arsed to change the picture

I remember that, can't believe its already met its reserve at ?5,500.....Lotus spent ?100,000 on that thing :o

I wonder how many of those bits I could  pull off the Lada and put into my Mk1  ;D

i cant either. in 20 years his car will be a sought after thing as it is so unique - but a professional unique if you know what i mean.
