Good Day !
« on: June 28, 2017, 01:19:02 PM »
I have just joined this forum and hope to gain some advice on a Jazz I have "inherited".

I am currently rebuilding an old Lotus so the Jazz is a bit of a culture shock.

Welcome. A Lotus project sound interesting.

It had "allegedly" been restored by a marque specialist for loads of money.  I assume they employ simians of some type, as  I've now spent 8 months correcting their mess.

Looks like a 72.

Spot on! A late big valve 5 speed.   1972 Lotus Elan +2 S 130/5 to give it's full title.

I've been out in it 4 times and it has broken down twice because of the poor work and neglect of the "professional" restorers.

I'm nearly there with the engine rebuild.  (timing the twin cams!)
