I have seen the progress of this restoration, and the workmanship is far beyond what you would see on the factory production line.

The attention to detail has fixed all the things that years of experience have found should have been done in production, to make the car faultless.

The lucky owner will be driving a engineering masterpiece.

Clever!! This is the first time I have seen a solution to this problem - brilliant. 
I would like to see more photo's of that if available.
I'm surprised Lotus at the time, or others in this day and age, didn't or don't, market them.

Car looks fantastic. I'm not counting hours on my S2 restoration because I don't want to remind myself how much other paid work I could have been doing.
I see you don't have front side repeater indicators, is this standard?
