He moved on to a maroon model that was even nicer. In pretty woman they used a white lotus. So did you get one yet? What year and color? Just curious. Don't tell me you are turning it into a convertible. I think that is impossible.
I found a black '89 in very nice condition with 35K miles. I picked that particular Bond photo because it was the first movie with a Lotus. I thought the Pretty Woman car was silver but could be wrong. For what I want to do, I need an '89 or newer as it had the better transaxle that was also used in the V8 Esprit. I need to sell my baby inorder to move ahead on the new car. The clue to the engine swap is the other photo. hurry up and figure it out so I can post a picture of the power train! Hope someone who will take good care of my Crossfire will step up so I can get busy in the garage
