...and me all tapped out...

Ya notice th' throttle return spring on that thing?!? :shocked:

Looks like th' Zed-F transaxle, too. That ~IS~ the last 23.

wow.

I'll now go into th' corner an' suck my thumb for a day or two.

The advert states "possible trade"...maybe the B and a little $$?
Just a thought to save your thumb?
Cheers,
D.

The B, two Lotus Elans and I'll throw in a couple rusty Alfas to boot!

...but my guess is the whole pile wouldn't amount a THIRD of what that thing will fetch.

Back to my corner now.

WHERE'S MY BLINKIE!?!?

Hold on here...dont' throw your toys out of the prom! This forum is full of nice folks that would love to donate to your cause.
I had no idea that they where fetching that amount? We sold many Loti in the 80's that found there way to Japan.
Cheers,
D.

Yeah, the Japanese were literally SUCKING the English cars uotta here then. We did a TC for a fellow to "export" to Japan. Car was a full resto, had to have it running and bedded in then drained of ALL fluids. We were told the thing would be DIS-assembled by Japanese customs on arrival, too. Weird.
