Hi Dave,
Can we meet up en-route and maybe form a small convoy, Lotus/TVR, from Southampton?

Good Turnout - great to see so many people old and new and an interesting variety of cars!

Thanks Jim as always for all your help and advice, In particular your tips on what wax to use were most appreciated .......

Used gel up to now but you are right time to go for a more natural look. :-D Not sure if I am brave enough to go for the blonde highlights as you suggested but will let you know if I do. :poke:

I can't make it this month :( Just too busy with work and will be away in September also I'm afraid.
At least it gives me until October to sort out my headlight pod issues :D
On the plus side I have found an auto electrician over here that has done a lot of work on the engine management system on another Calypso Red Elan which was something of a surprise :shock: but seems like a nice guy and most importantly is genuinely interested in the marque :D
Chris
Doubtful for the SSS but if something develops may get there last minute.
Best wishes to all
