Pictures of MK1 + MK11 Crayfords

[GoLotus]

A few more from my collection
WHM 926G - Lotus

I wish it was a Lotus

Its a GT, one of the founding cars of the Crayford Club, and the first Crayford to have joined the MkIIOC back in the day. Today, a very rusty heap. A planned quick tidy and blow over in 1996ish revealed a 4 dr back have been brazed on, patches held in place with mastic, and suspension top mounts that had more filler than steel. In storage since, it may well get restored.......... one day

Thanks for the update. Cross that one off the Lotus list then. Sounds like its going to need some very expensive resto work.

Hi Steve,thanks I was going to try to re-number them as I can attach them to an e-mail but not to the forum.I love the site and mark but have not been a member since the late 90s,I was a member of 5 other clubs at the time and LCR magazine was drying up and with no internet to keep you informed you just lost touch but I still like to look at your forum.Thanks again RONV.

Hi Graham,
Andy Morell built up his Crayford L/C in about a week, from what I can remember. So there's your challenge!!
I'll call you in 5 days, to see if it's finished.
