JohnCh Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 This is a great thread on WSCC by someone detailing the restoration of his Lotus XI, including the fabrication of a new aluminum body. Well worth reading if you are a fan of the XI. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birkin42 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I too, like many love the XI. It's great to see one brought back to life. It will be interesting to see what WCM XI will be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderbrake Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Great story, magnificent car!! Everyone should take the time to go through all the posts. A perfect example of how every step you take has unintended consequences, with their associated additional costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevet Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Excellent. Another chance to post the XI photo I took at the Goodwood Revival meeting - 98 I think. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1928743980_11 at goodwood, web.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Budlite Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Nice pictures Stan and Steve. Here's some more: http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/521087825_56LotusXIOutside0005.jpg http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1872742412_IMG_1079R.jpg So quite a few years back at a Vintage Fall Festival at LRP, I'm showing a Lotus Eleven to a close female acquaintance who shall remain nameless, and I ask her what she thinks and she says "I think it looks like a peni$!!" Now I'm wondering, does that mean she likes it or not?!?! :jester: Bruce :7drive: PS: I hope this is not too inappropriate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokked Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Thanks for the link! It's well worth reading through. Great story for anyone interested in Lotus or 50's sports racers.
