Hello Steve,
Nice to hear that you had two Mantas. I've never seen a Manta B in the US. Yes, I have my Ascona as the photo was taken on 8/11/20. I like how you are mentoring your son into auto repair. I also like your car collection, especially the Capri in the background.

The toughest part of that decision was selling this Lotus. Thanks to the internet I found it in 2014 by googling the registration “ONR 920F”. It had been through a major renovation, however due to the car being so original many of the parts and components were rebuilt rather than replaced. It came up for sale in 2017 so I bought it and arranged to have it shipped to Northern California where I now live. The dealer then called me and said that the tach was not working, they could either ship it as planned or delay it a few weeks and fix it. Although I am usually impatient, I decided I had not seen the car in 37 years so I could go a few extra weeks. On October 16th, 2017 I took the day to clean up the space in the garage and hang up the poster sized pictures I had kept of it from the 70’s. All was ready for its arrival.
It was that night the wildfire ripped through my hometown destroying my home and everything in it, including my renovated 1991 Lotus Elan. ONR 920F arrived a few days later narrowly missing the fires.
My prop is the California number plate retaining the Lotus’s original number (UK plate also in the picture) and the way in which I found her.
Wow! What a story and I am very sorry for your losses. Your Elan is beautiful, luckily it was spared Thanks for posting.
Interesting story, I found your post whilst randomly searching the reg number.
I owned the old girl from 2005-2009. It was still yellow when advertised around 2016ish, when did it become white?

How interesting - I missed your post. ONR 920F was originally white. She was damaged in shipping to the US so needed fixing, so at the same time I put her back to the exact white she was. Please feel free to contact me at mlewis@market-partners.com I'd love to hear more.
