In the beginning...

So here we go....
I had no intention of starting a car restoration project when I walked into AM Systems Ltd, a small manufacturing company in Livingstone, Scotland. I was there to talk about CAD software but during a look around the workshop, my eye was drawn to this:

A first look
I was curious and when I discovered that it was for sale, my imagination got the better of me! Within a few days, I had contacted the owner and started to learn about its history. It is a 1979 Lotus Esprit S2 and was being stored in the unit as the owner didn't have space for it any more. After a lot of email tennis and some great information about the work that had been done to the car over many years, I decided to bite the bullet and put in an offer. And now, I'm expecting a delivery this Thursday evening!

Next time, I'll go through the 'project' and the work I intend to do...
