Right I'll have another go.  Last time it disappeared!

I'm looking to be quite specific - 
 

Or this if it had a lighter interior - 
 

The Lotus was a Elan +2 S 130/5.  Bought off the original owner having had a £25000 restoration.  (Allegedly) 
Unfortunately it had been appallingly bodged by "Marque Specialists"  and the old owner lied through his teeth!
Sad really It took 2 years and another £5K to sort.  
It did go very well then and if an F / TF handles and rides anywhere near as well I'll be impressed!  
 

As it happens the wheelbase and tracks are quite close to the F, its wider at the back and has a rear weight bias!   And very sensitive to setup.  A poorly sorted Elan is nasty.

How can such a basically simple thing be so competent?
Or the famous Twink engine 1960's 
!30bhp  -  1600  -  howl to 7000 easy.   Yet economical if you are easy.  On fat webers and contact breaker ignition?
(Admit it leaked a bit !)
