RE: The Angry Lotus.

Wow, I've not heard of this one before, but it looks superbly wonderful! There's certainly an exotic, and seemingly Italian-ness with the design. Being built using a fibreglass body, it should be pretty light as well. That, and a powerful engine, it's no wonder its quick.

I'm assuming that Ford Cleveland engine is a V8, no? I think I've heard of this motor before, and I think it's the same one used by Italian carmakers like ISO. This one looks front-engine, but nonetheless a stunning machine. I really wished you kept it. ❤️

Yep your right it was a Ford Cleveland V8 engine and front engine tell me about it should of kept it like a couple other sports muscle cars i had if i was able to read into a crystal ball there was no way i would have sold them 🤔

Lol, I can feel you. My dad once had a classic Fiat 124 that rusted to oblivion after he crashed and totalled it. Could've fixed it up and kept it, given how much their value has risen now 🙃

It is sad to say the least to see classic cars go to waste like that 🤔

Yeah, but he sold it on, and I'm sure that someone's had it restored by now. It's quite a rarity here in Malaysia to see a classic Italian car.

Well let's hope it's still alive and has a good home. Funny enough i don't see many old Italian cars in Australia either there use to be a lot of Fiat's around probably all dead and buried by now 🤔

It's either that they reside more in museums, or perhaps the only other thing that old Italian cars do best... Rust. I don't think I've seen rust develop any faster than an old Fiat or Alfa, honestly. 😆

Yep they were definitely ruck buckets i think they forgot all about the adding the rust prevention chemicals they were eating to many magic mushrooms 😅
