Also watched the two follow up videos,the comparison between the LC and VXR8 was interesting.LC was less powerful,lighter but slightly slower.Given the choice though I think I'd still take the LC.

LCs need a lot of lovin
This will do for you Mr BazaJT 
clicky

Nice

Yes indeed,I much like that

In fairness to the Swedish police there wasn't much back then[and possibly still not]that would live with a LC/LO driven by someone determined not to be caught.

This guy was harassed by the police for a long time and since they didn't catch him they couldn't proof who was driving.

They must have got his reg plate and gone after the registered keeper/owner, regardless of whoever was driving at the time. 

I expect Sweden is quite civilised like that.

Anyone with a good memory? Back in the late 80's ( I think) there was a series of ram raids on shops in the Midlands. Usually a stolen transit or similar and then the raiders made good their escape in "an expertly driven" Lotus Carlton . Even the police pursuit helicopter couldn't keep up with it.  Anyway this went on for some months before the police found the sad looking LC in a local canal. The owner was quickly traced and I remember seeing the car and owner on a photograph outside his house. I often wondered if it was a race or rally car driver funding their hobby. I also now wonder if that car has been restored and the current owner knows none of its previous escapades.

yes Varche,
that story was very interesting at the time, but i didnt know about the canal bit! thanks
