Not much more to say. I went to look at an S22 Comet (that unfortunately is a convertible) and found a bunch of other cool cars.  This is a local repair shop that has these cars.  Some are for sale and some and just stored here. 

The really cool thing is that the building is an old car dealership and all these cars in in what use to be the showroom.  This part of the building looks to not have been touched since the 1970's.  It was cool to see all these cars in a period correct environment.

I love the Comet, and would love it as a drop-top!

I'd love that Comet. Had a V8 S22 droptop a few years back and never got it finished.

 

Paid $2000 for mine as a runner. That red one's probably more that that... lol

That is a really nice replica, probably Westfield. All real Lotus Elevens are right hook.

I remember when the Westfield Eleven was introduced there was a feature on it in Road and Track (it may have been written by Peter Egan).  I stared at the pictures for a long time and really wanted one.  If I recall correctly the price was pretty reasonable, too.

In reply to TurnerX19 :

I was wondering if it was a Westfield; either way I still want it.

I seem to recall Egan doing something like drive cross country in it.

He drove it from California to (?) Road Atlanta, with his wife, across the desert and in the rain.

I'm going to guess Road America, because Wisconsin.  Or did they go to the runoff at Atlanta?  I guess I need to find my Egan collection.
