You will be driving a part of history and boy i would love to be in that driving seat. I hope you never loose the grin factor in that car because i don't think there is much else out there better than that.  :y :y :y

the grin factor will not fade ive always wanted it since he bought it  but my brother lost interest with it and is buying a bloody huge new dodge pick up with a supercharged massive engine for a new toy
A dodge pick up why :question
About 8 years ago i went past a garage in south devon and in the show room there was two and i stopped and made a mess of myself and one of them belonged the garage owner and we had a chat and he said that he had just come back from a ski'ing trip and on the autobahn coming back he backed off from a 175mph and he said there was still a bit to go.
I think a holiday germany once you got it might be in order  ;) :y :y

Some parts ie brake discs are too difficult to source to use a Lotus Carlton as everyday car.
