Tracing History

PostPost by: wparslow » Tue Apr 18, 2006 2:15 pm

Hi Guys. My +2S 130/5 (73081595L) was fully restored by Ken Myers Partnership 4+ years ago and kept in a collection until I bought it from Mattys last August.

Does anyone know how to contact Ken Myers as the car has zero history - the factory are unable to trace any record of the car and all I know is that it was delivered to someone in the Channel Islands from new and then 1st registered in the UK in 1977 (it's on an R plate) by a Company called Romans - anyone know of these guys?

Many thanks,

Wayne

A google search shows a Romans Garage in Harrogate, UK.
The telephone number is 01423 885999.

Might be worth a call.

Regards,
Stuart.

I believe Ken and his son owned the Orchard lotus franchise in Northampton. This is only Hyundai now but might be worth a call.

There is also a Orchard lotus franchise in Kent.

In 2003 you could contact Ken at: Orchard Lotus, The Causeway, Great Billing, Northampton. 01604 403040. Romans were a sports car dealer in Surrey I think, probably still are - check Sunday Times Motoring Section
maybe. Not sure whether Lotus Dealer or not ? Jc
