    These episodes are great, because it's mainly about Elvis and less about Brewer.

    My 1970 'Federal' Europa snagged at exactly the same position when I lifted the body. Didn't have to remove the bolt. We had 6 people, not a lift, so we 'fiddled' it a bit and it came free.

    Pardon my ignorance but why dont car lifts seem to have remote controls? Seems an obvious thing to have rather than have the operator bend and twist trying to watch whats going on while still hanging onto the fixed controls.

    I am 6'1 and I fit into them more or less okay; if you are 6'3 or taller, your head will sure hit the roof..

    The hidden item is the handbreak cable in the front engine compartment which s bolted to the chassis behind a 3 inch circular rubber bung. That looks like a Spider chassis , not original Lotus and the engine cover is a Twin cam cover , not a 1969 S2 cover. The engine cover that came back was an S2 correct one. These are very rare cars now (type 54).

    600 quid for chassis painting and the stripe. Not a paint job. Listen to what the says.

    I modded many Europa cylinder heads back in the 70s, (a lot of early owners wanted the larger Europa S valves fitted..)

    This show is so fake and scripted now! Still using the old " it could be a lot of work Mike! " schtick! When the reality is the production team finds the cars and the deal is done in buying the cars! Mike just re-enact it!. There is a whole team of engineering technical advisors to help with the repairs! Elvis is no doubt a amazing mechanic but a poor actor!
