Wow, Garage Find x10 Yeap it was a cool day.

Well guys heres the story the owner raced this car back in the 50s drove it on the street until 70s sometime. Then put it in the garage where it's sat since. Motor is free and the carbs are in good shape. I will be working on it more tomorrow at their space to get it running etc. I dont have much more info on the car other than it is a real lotus original motor with a spare. Inboard Disk Brakes and they call it the lotus coventry.

I do not know much more than that at the current time, however once the 68 is out this will be taking up a slot in the garage.

Sorry for the bad pics lighting was poor the garage door will need work to open and I only had my camera phone. Any insight on to what model etc would be greatly appreciated.

It was started less than a year ago however not since.

Pretty damn cool, every panel is either on the car or in the garage. I am still shaking /

Well here are a few pics more to come in the next few days I know the pics suck but understand I was too interested in looking at it closly than holding the phone out snapping shots. Notice the cool Lucas badge on the dash.

Jon W. - i know i know, like I need it but jeez why not.
