 Okay, I've got some info. The owner/ seller is an older lady who is selling out of Minnesota and heading for Arizona. The house is gone, the car has to go. It was a restoration when they bought it, and it has literally been driven sparingly by a little old lady since then. Gramma snortin' Dellortos... picture that.

Her son-in-law, Tim Lynch is handling the sale of the car for her. It's late in the season to be selling a car in Minnesota (snow is around the corner). If a quick sale happens, great! But he's thinking it might, by default, be a wait until Spring deal.

If you're interested, contact him PDQ, (Pretty Damned Quick) and there's still time to do a deal before it goes into Winter storage.

He doesn't really have a price in mind, but as much as we talked, he's very realistic. No blue sky dreams about an ultimate high price.

The car is an older restoration, rust free, nice interior, with a new top. The engine has Dellorto DHLA 45E carbs, but "I think" it is otherwise mostly stock. It has had a recent head rebuild and new timing belt. I've hand-touched the belt, and I think it's too tight, but that's probably the worst of the engine.

If you're interested, don't delay, the car is on the brink of going into Winter storage. It 'might' make one appearance on eBay soon.

The seller is Tim Lynch (the owner's son-in-law):

I'm not associated with the car or it's sale, but I've seen it, and I know the guys at the shop that have serviced it most recently. Not Lotus or J-H specialists, but good guys.

Regards,
Tim Engel
