Is the spyder chassis different to what your Elan came with, or is it identical?

That's a massive shame you haven't been able to get it up and running, it is a truly beautiful old school british sportscar.

You bought it for £300?!

Deal of the decade me thinks.

Very very impressive Chris, like the subtle understated sleeper look, is it badged as a sleeper?

250BHP aren't they, or is it more that that now?

Great news your keeping the BX as well

I remember buying the first ever copy of Max power, if I remember corectly it came in a A3 sized packet, with a cardboard steering wheel and a poster of 2 gorgeous Escort Cossies, which I guess dates it to around 92/93 ish. I moved onto Revs a good few years ago, but very rarely buy any car mag thes...

What about matey boy on this post:

Somebody had to ask.........

Do you still own the Lotus Carlton, and if so can we have some pics?!

Is it a Vauxhall or a Opel variant??

Cheers

Dan

Good pics Kitch, just out of interest, where were the first shots taken, the building related ones??

Dan

They look to much a like a shrunken people carrier to me

Hi there,

If you've owned it for 15 years, and it has a cat, then you must have owned it from brand new?

Is it a K plate?

Some pics would be good

British Touring Cars ChampionshipSunday 01 April 4:00pm - 5:30pm ITV3 The British Touring Car Championship returns for a new season, and Ted Kravitz and Louise Goodman introduce live motorsport action from Brands Hatch. Matt Neal will be attempting to win a record third consecutive championship, but...

I did the stats when I was looking to buy a car for commuting, and even on a second hand purchase, I calculated that adding on the additional extra cost, the additional cost of fuel, offset against the extra economy, to make it worthwhile, I would have needed to cover 20,000 miles in that first year...

They spent the 1st few hours taking the pish untill they realised I was able to hang to the back of a Q4 (155 with delta integrale running gear - 200bhp+ and 4WD) :lol: I find that rather amusing :lol: The 155 has some similarities with the BX, namely lots of sharp edges with the styling. Dan

Holy cow that has gone downhill

From translating the webpage, it would appear that the car was perhaps put up for sale in 1999, but lack of interest means it was parked up, and left for 8 years.....
What a waste.
