One of my favourite Matchbox cars when i was a kid.Always wanted a real one.Gorgeous looking cars and in this colour scheme,this one looks the business
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.
My favourite car ever.
Fantastic resto !!
Love the short, detailed videos of yours, keep up the hard work !!
Lotus lots of trouble usually serious. I've watched wd. Since the start, excellent show.
Lovely 😊 job
How about a video of the hill climb. I was hoping that would be at the end of the video. Great car the Europa.
My favourite car ever. I've never owned one but how I would like to. One day......maybe.
That is a very cool car
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.

Operator must never be below a moving load in any industry

nice car
Where can I see the full program ?
It look very much like that left rear wheel had two loose bolts - no wonder it was loose :P
It is too bad LOTUS never designed their cars for people over 6 ft. tall….beautiful job!👍👍

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).

Of course, Spyder after-market chassis.
JPS livery plz
Ah! Spirou's car!

🤗👍❤️
A few days later ,yeh right
Sporty handling? Yes. Speed? Not so much.
No wonder Ed China left😂
Not a Lotus chassis, an after-market one. Explain.
First
£600 pounds for a paint job??? Especially one that also involves stripes? On what planet in 2023???

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

It was a simple wrap (they didn’t tackle any bodywork as far as I know)..

I modded many Europa cylinder heads back in the 70s, (a lot of early owners wanted the larger Europa S valves fitted..)
All too superficial, not enough detail or explanation.
Won't subscribe untill show improve. The show is not going down hill it's going down a shear drop at the bottom is a complete wreck
Mike and Elvis don’t repaint a lotus, in fact no one does

Tbf he painted the chasis (well he said he did)
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!
Blimey, that's awful!
It's not a repaint, the proper term is respray mate! Cheers!
