I watched a new car show last night, the Salvage Hunters classic car one on Quest channel.
One car he bought was a Lotus Elan +2, it was red when he bought it then during the restore he had it reprayed a light blue. The idea of the show is obviously to buy retore or add value to a car for profit then resell. Trouble is he goes around looking at cars as if he’s looking at a piece of furniture or picture, it’s a piece of artwork he says. He doesn’t do any work himself, nor does his car expert mate, he farms it out to specialists.
He was showing a picture of a finished Lotus in the colour of his choosing and said that what I want, the car was resprayed. I went on the DVLA website bearing in mind this restoration was done last year and the car still shows as being red. He sold the car to a private buyer wonder if they’re aware of the error on the V5?
