If you're wondering why your Emory Outlaw is behind schedule, could be 'cos Rod's generously given over a corner of his workshop for Hollywood starlet Sydney Sweeney to work on her Bronco. Her next project's a Porsche apparently…

Now back to work boys!

So much better looking than the Type 3 (T34) Karmann Ghia.

Not sure either, he now hillclimbs an Alpine 110.
Do you know Paul Mattey is retiring?

It's already happened !

I'd heard that he had sold off the parts side of the business to Classic Lotus but was keeping the workshop & showroom.

However, I called in yesterday & the whole place was deserted - the 'front' showroom is now an estate agents office & the main building was locked up & largely empty ...

All detailed on the Matty web site. The mechanics are all moving to a local Lotus specialist who used to work at Paul's.

I think there are 6 cars left to sell and then all done.
