I have come along a greater bunch of old Club Lotus mags. In one issue there was a rumour that Derek Dean a former Lotus dealer and specialist was on the way to sell hardtops. The article was in a manor that the developing already was done and selling should begin. In the back of the picture was a hardtop seen which looks very most like the stock hardtop were shown on these days.
Does anybody know what has happened to these?

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?
