Lotus Esprit

I love my job, I love all cars but once in a while one comes along that is just an absolute joy to work on and give needed car care too. After being contacted by a main motor dealer in Edinburgh this very unique Lotus Esprite came in for much needed paint correctio and enhancement. It had major paint defects that would only be resolved by oainting the whole car, that said the customer who had made the difficult decision to sell on this much cherished Bristish Sports Car wanted the next best thing. 

Being fibre glass means that the utmost care must be taken as heat build up from pads can if not done correctly leave a car in poorer condition and having done previous Lotus cars and TVR's this was not an area of concern. In total 28 hours was spent and it was a labour of love I can assure you, the paint colour was stunning after been given a west sanding then machined polished. Ideally I would have loved another 28 hours on the car but working to a customers budget does limit work that can be done, but the car was improved 100% than when it came in. 

The pictures do not do the car justice at all....
