The lost Lotus - Restoring A Race Car . Featuring the 50s prototype Lotus Elite

First shown November 2016. As usual with these cheap-to-make "celebrity" TV "shows" there is a whole other back story.
They made a number of fundamental mistakes in their rush to get a shiny car on the road and take a profit, rather than a correct car on the road. Hopefully someone, with a bottom-less wallet, will come along and put it right at some point.

EDIT: don't let my comments put you off; just don't believe all you see. I'm sure that the Elite forum hard harsher words than mine.
