Hello David:
It's nice to know that you have people interested in joining your Lotus car club who have Lotus cars that are in the, working-on-them "Project" state.
We get that all the time. As a matter of fact, we have quite a few current members who have various models of Lotus cars that are in various states of, not quite being a complete (running) vehicle! In fact we have 4-5 members who are currently working at restoring
Elan models.
