Popped back up at our place. Has been used a bit by the Eliseparts team but stood for a while. I've just bought it anyway. No idea what to do with it!

 

Cool! I was just wondering about it a couple weeks ago.

Gave all the paperwork to Eliseparts. I did get a new VIN for it, and I still have the stamps, but VOSA were never going to pass it. Just one of those things. I did have a great time rebuilding it.

1) Try again, without a chassis ID they probably don't have a record of the previous attempt so nothing to lose by trying again

 

2) Can Lotus or Vauxhall help?

Great opportunity for someone to go through the process. I'm sure something can be done with it. I just dont really have time.

The track day of its 1st outing was also more like a half day due to the amount of red flags! Bargain car and a lot of effort, time and money Theo gave the ikle red car 😊 got to be up there with the best nut / bolt builds DG

an option would be to buy a red Cat C and use the body panels from this to rebuild it, then sell the rest in parts.

 

It's a real shame because it's one of the best condition vx's still remaining thumbsup
