Classic Cars To Pannala

This one?

Yes MD, looked exactly like this. . It was without the wheel cups though. 1 SRI XXXX

[k9master]

there was one of these being restored in a garage in wattala. oddly enough, the garage was named "auto lanka"

i put up a pic here of the car few years back. at the time it was red and needed fair bit of work. certain body panels were being made there...

would be interesting to see if it was the same car.

If it's the same they have done an awesome restoration... Paint needed a good polish though, not as shiny as MDs pic. Porabably since it had been under the cover for so long...

Edit: Snapped a pic on the way back...

Now seeing the two side by side, its cliar that i have made a bit of a hash of it

This car and what you posted has a few significant differences starting from interior, rear quarter panels and front

I'm inclined to believe you saw the very car Ripper photographed in the other thread.

Edit: And what, RHD? Conversion or factory?

Its' silver (Dil Wijemanna's).. i havent seen the car in a while so its possible that he repainted it. But he did have a blue xk8 though..

[terrabytetango]

I've seen the silver one a few years back, it had a hideous set of wheels which were NOT anything Lotus would use; they were chrome and possibly had curved spokes similar to the "turbine" look. The image is stuck in my mind 'cos all I could think was HOW could someone do that to a Lotus.
