There is art as well as science in the old lotus. Just because I can't afford an original Matisse print doesn't mean I wouldn't like hanging a nice reproduction in my home.

My only problem with this example is the yellow wheels and highlight around the radiator opening. I'm guessing the yellow around the radiator can be removed and the wheels can be resprayed back to silver.

It would be interesting to know the specs on the body. I wonder what other drive trains it would fit on.

Jimmy Clark never minded that color scheme.

I think silver knock-off minilites with a chrome three eared spinner would look better.

Certainly the Kent cross-flow ford engine. You can develop a safe, smooth 120 hp out of one of those. I just don't know if the F20C motor would fit.

Yeah, all you have to do is click the link. I emailed the guy to ask what he wants for it.
