herb capri Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 chaps i have a question i have a vary early mk2 1500gt 2door tina [possibly the oldest oct 66] now its a 1 owner ,blue mink rare as **** 4 high clock dash ,handbrake on the dash , real nice original int AND spec wise its very near to lotus.... so do i do it as a blue mink original, OR do i double its visual impact and its value and do yet another lotus copy as ill probably sell it when its done anyway [and what would the buyer of a blue minker do to it? help dudes......... or do i sell it to one of you who will probably do that anyway?
V8ian Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 What would a Lotus copy be other than a copy and gain scorn from those who know!!!!!, if the spec is similar why bother, SLEEPER
Rick Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 yeah dont give the bufties chance to put down your motor. dont matter how mint your car is theyl still look at it in disgust for being a non lotus all the escort peeps will know what i mean when you say its not a gen mexico
lotusless Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 original!! there are loads of lotus look-a-likes + you have pm
Admin Vista Posted January 27, 2009 Admin Report Posted January 27, 2009 You know me and my history Mike, I'd keep it outwardly original but inwardly very non original and then leave ll lotus / lotus copies behind
sporty-corty16v Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 never been keen on cars pretending to be something there not, so deffo blue mate for me
Hunter T Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 mink blue all the way i had a mk1 escort in that colour for a short time and it was stunning...
bigdaz27 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 keep it original would be a shame to spoil such a rare car lotus rep would be a bit clit
herb capri Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Posted January 27, 2009 thanks chaps , i know it sounds mad but sometimes its good to see what every one else [of similar mind] thinks however its the kind of motor you either love or hate, and it is just amazing how this car is so original,engine, box,interior ,original panels even sills ! ok better look blue mink prices up then thanks to all mike
GT_lenny Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 mines the exact same model, if you look at my resto thread you'll se there wasn't much left of it if it had been more complete i'd of done it to origanal, but as all i got was a rusty shell and a dash top with clocks i'm doing mine a lotus(ish) rep If yours is fairy complete do it original
puddy Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 Mine when i bought her in 88'.......... Original saluki bronze 67'lotus, very rare colour........ I'm starting to feel guilty now puddy
