\u00a0NJD is the more famous car, as it was the subject of an extensive Mk 1 Lotus review in Popular Classics <\/strong>magazine in June 1993. It was restored in the late 1980s by Derek Dean, a very well known Lotus <\/strong>character, <\/strong>using a lot of new-old-stock sourced from Australia, the USA and the UK. In 1993 Derek sold NJD for <\/strong>\u00a320,000, or nearly twice the price of an \u2018ordinary\u2019 show car back then! <\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It is an August 1966 Car, making <\/strong>it <\/strong>one of the last to be built, and is certainly one of the finest examples of a standard late Aeroflow<\/strong>. <\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
LLR was bought by Will more recently as a part-completed restoration. The work completed had been <\/strong>done to a very high standard, and Will finished the car off ensuring that the detail was absolutely <\/strong>correct, <\/strong>using NJD as the main reference. LLR has a highly developed engine, with 145bhp on tap, along with <\/strong>modern tyres for a little more grip, halogen headlamps to be able to see at night, and the obligatory roof <\/strong>aerial. <\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
These cars are almost identical to look at initially, but very different machines on the road. One car just <\/strong>wouldn\u2019t be enough! <\/strong><\/div>\n
