Many thanks John,

an amazing collection of Photos
How on earth did you manage to shoot so many with no Sheeples obscuring the shot?
Were the usual Lotus Celeb's i.e. Ron Hickman, Mrs. Chapman, Mrs. Hill, Bob Dance etc. in attendance?

Thanks a lot
John

Thanks for posting John.

Gotta say, that while a drop head Elan looks cute ... the open +2 looks elegant .

I fancy one of those coolant header tanks shown in the last photo (with the Zetec).

Though looking at it I'm puzzled as to why the pipe to the engine is high on the header tank, I would have expected it to be low.

I expect that the Tank will have another Hose attached to the bottom of it & feeding into the Water Pump inlet side in the short (closed Thermostat) Cooling System.
The upper, visible Hose vents to the Filler Cap on the extended Thermostat Housing; that's assuming that the Cap on the Tank itself does not vent to Atmosphere.
A bit of a Bodge because ideally the Tank Cap should vent & make that upper Hose redundant.
Errrm! The Coolant Rail solution, that pretty Aluminium Casting running along the side of the Cylinder head, is a bit of a Bodge when working with a Thermostat.
A subject that has been discussed in depth in earlier Posts.

Thanks for the many wonderful photos John
I saw a Lotus 69, was this Tony wallen's ?
If it was it was the car I sold him a few years ago and it certainly didn't look like that when I sold it to him !!
He has done a fantastic restoration and it looks gorgeous.
