Joe I'm so sorry, met you on saturday and the car was beautiful. It'll turn up somewhere, not like you can easily hide one of these.

Lotus still missing

Van and trailer have been recovered in Chamblee, Ga.
Ignition switch damaged, but otherwise sounds like the van and trailer are OK

Thanks to all - Joe

Beautiful S2, Joe. Sorry I'm only seeing photos of it under these circumstances. I'll keep an eye out on the west coast.

I apologize for the frequent "bumps", but I am in a 2 week window before the insurance declares a total loss, so I am hoping for a quick sighting/recovery.

Lotus 7 is still missing

This is a real Lotus 7 Series 2 restored to original condition.

These are some of the easily identified (and hard to disguise features):
- Right hand drive
- Wooden steering wheel
- 155x13 tires on Minilite rims
- Air scoop on left side of hood
- Tow ring under right front frame rail

While these features "may not hold up in court", I did a nut and bolt rebuild of this car and can provide photos, details and unique modifications.


If you see this car on the road or advertised, call the police, then call me!

Don't be a hero and don't fall for a scam!

Thanks - Joe Petty

Here is a picture from the Norcross show, it was stolen later that night.
The bonnet is behind the car leaning against the chain link fence.
