Where can I get the history of my car.
« on: Tuesday,December 15, 2020, 01:50:57 PM »
My newly acquired twincam has come with no history. I would like to know the spec at build, previous owners, where has the car travelled, possibly even what work has been done,etc. Is there somewhere I can find these details.

  Sparkrite,
  look up your Build number at  http://www.lotus-europa.com/registry.html
 If no info please update the registry.
  Did the previous owner any info?

Andy Graham, the Lotus archivist, can tell about your car when it was built. His email is Abraham at lotuscars dot com. He is very helpful.

I have Andy's email listed as agraham atetc. Did it change since 2016 when I got my car's history?

I emailed Dan back in early 2017. He responded and asked for photos and all the relevant data on my TCS and I sent all that to him...and responded thanks...and said would get to get to it. Three and a half years later, I am still waiting.  I guess he was more behind than I realized LOL. Maybe things will free up for him this next decade.

According to the link that dakazman posted, the registry hasn't been updated since April 2015. I thought it was dead.
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

     Dan is working on it. He stated he has over 100 cars on the list to update. he wants to make it user friendly .
 Owners can make changes themselves. security concerns are at the top of his list.
  I have offered my daughters talents , without her knowing, to Dan. She has her Masters in digital media from full sail university.
 more detail to come. I also believe that other members are also familiar with web sites and source code that may want to offer Dan some assistance.

   I had a short email exchange with Dan .  He agreed with the help I offered.  I sent some info to my daughter to get some ideas .  She is busy right now but put me on her to-do list.  Remember, Dad still works on her car...😂.  Keep you posted.

Cheers Mr Dakazman. I appreciate your effort on this, and Dan as well, of course. It would be good to have an active registry. :beerchug:
