Half an hour of old style Lotus goodness, at the factory, at the race and at home with the Chapmans - the casual chit chat in the pits is wonderful and the cars look fabulous...

Good find, enjoyed that.

I'm not sure whether this series of videos about a high-mileage QP VI being worked.on by a guy who normally fixed BMWs but I found them interesting and entertaining.

Here is a link to the first.

There are several follow-up videos where he works on the car.

I don't know why, but I keep thinking of Phil when I watch them.

This is the European guy? He destroyed the engine?

He destroyed more than one I think.

I think you're right.

I'm not sure HE destroyed it as he didn't seem to do anything that would cause a loss of oil pressure (unless something happens in a video I've not yet seen.)

One car I miss is my 4200 Cambio Corsa they look so Good against other GT cars and certainly the Best sounding.
Interesting that prices are on the up it seems.

I find myself agreeing with many of James's comments: an interesting modern classic, offering a rare combination of an outstanding Italian V8, coupled with a manual gearbox - along with sensible ownership costs.

Thought he was pretty hard on the car in that one, instead of being hard on the previous owner, that windscreen rubber uurghh! although lately I think the trident is growing on him, especially when you read some of his responses in the comments, and that boot lol

He bought the car unseen. Rule no. 1 of buying a car, always inspect and test drive the car. So can't blame the car.

I've done it several times but only when you have good communication with the seller and they answer your questions correctly if not it doesn't happen.
Since living in France I've bought in Belgium, Spain and recently the Netherlands.
Each one took effort on my part to get there and when the seller realize your genuine you can have a Good Deal.
It works for me and I've met some nice people too.

Harry's Garage video to Monaco for the Historic is a good watch with his Jaguar Project 7
