This looks a bit odd.


Kit car

Makers plate is Lotus, Date says 1978.
I didn't think Luego were in in existence in 1978.
Sierra didn't come into production until 1982. (Has sierra front uprights)
No stakes or lock nuts through the brake ballance bar.
Front indicators too far inboard for SVA etc.

Anyone care to comment?
Anyone know any different?

Looks like a 'ringer' on an LSR Magenta (Light Speed) logbook to me.
Another that can't be bothered to SVA / IVA

Yup. The seller has told me it's fine because that's how he bought it.....the kit was bought in 2002 yet the kit registered in 1986. I recognised the VRM from an old photo of an Magenta but I can find it now...

Another potential crusher. Hope nobody gets caught out

How about this from one of the most established kit car dealers in the country, advertised as Dutton 2B
