Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and to British cars. I recently bought a 1974 Lotus, 1976 Lotus, and a 1974 Jensen Healey. I found them listed on Craigslist and purchased them from the recent owner son. They have not been started in years. I know very little about them and I cant wait to fire them up! I also have a 1972 Fiat Spider.

Hello Chevy

Welcome to the forum.

A nice collection there.
There is a Lotus section that I am sure will be able to help you with tips and advice. The Jensen Healey would probable be in other British cars. I nearly bought a Jensen Healey a long time ago. It had been damaged but I bowed out of it when I saw that the motor was probable trashed as well. Both cam pulleys had been broken in the wreck.

Welcome indeed and will be watching this with considerable interest! I suspect you have already had a first for the forum. I am fairly certain that no has ever written: "I recently bought a 1974 Lotus, 1976 Lotus, and a 1974 Jensen Healey" in one sentence (or one purchase before.) :smile:

It would be hard to know where to start as they all seem like amazing projects. Will you continue to race them?
