No.77 .........off to the paint shop for a shiny new coat!

In October 2005, following a change of ownership Superlight R no.77 was treated to beautiful new paintwork.

To maintain the providence a colour change was out of the question, therefore the chassis tub would be painted again in the original colour ... Lotus Elise Azure Blue.

All external components were stripped from the chassis including the carbon fibre panels, windscreen, suspension, exhaust, and every popper base, including the ones at the upper edge of the interior panels to "peel" the panels back, ensuring a complete absence of an "old paint meets new join".

With the engine still fitted the masking process is substantial to avoid any overspray in unwanted area.

Preparation is the key to success with many small dents and knocks needing to be repaired .......

including the scuttle ......

and a very well used engine cover!
