Lesney #19d-Lotus Racing Car Restoration

Evening everyone.. Here is a Lotus Racing Car restoration I recently completed. It came out well, even though it was recently brought to my attention that the front tires are the wrong size.. Potato potahto haha. Here's what I started with..

Certainly in better shape than my usual restorations, but I've been wanting to do one of these up for a while, so under the knife it went..

I decided to recreate the fairly rare orange version. The driver came from a big lot of beater Lesneys I recently purchased. Was very surprised to find an intact driver. It was dirty but in great shape!

Hot Wheels Lotus Esprit S1 Custom

Well this awesome new Lotus has only been out a couple of months, but I just found one and decided to give it the LA custom treatment!! All Lotus cars look good in the old F1 black and gold livery, and this one is no different.. What do you think?
