My ST70

Hi everyone have a few bikes , but today picked up a new project a unregistered 70s ? ST70 with only 1454 miles from new . Its a bit of a odd one though hunted the internet but not found one like it! Its has Essex Lotus decals on it and looks like its been in these colours from new the previous owner reckoned he bought the bike from a lotus auction in Hethel Norwich and it was one of 4 Paddock bikes used in the 79-81 season when Mansell was racing for Essex Lotus formula one team . Has anyone seen one before and also know how to age/date the st . Cheers Edge

Where are the photos?

Cool bike with a nice story!
If you give the frame numbers, I'll be able to help you with the built date.

Funny, I was expecting it to be Green and Gold, looks nice though

This is the correct colour scheme and even the sticker looks right if I were you I would contact Lotus direct a friend of mine had a Lotus road car in this colour scheme as well and was a build by the factory the only thing that is odd is the Lady dax seat? This is a good resto project as there is very little to do.
Best of luck Clive AKA Tufty.
