Quite a car the old "Model "C" - my ex wife had one 'til it was totalled in a chain reaction accident in which it was transformed into a "Concertina." -S-
very nice, those tappets sound nearly as loose as my BDA ones!, i think its the microphone tends to pick up the higher frequecies more than the lower ones, probably sounds better in the skin,
I see one of these every week come rain or shine, the guys had it for years. He has a mate with a mark 2 lotus . Just love to see them still being used, always brings a smile to my face.
Hi, lovely car mate! Are you ever thinking of fitting a lotus twin-cam? would look ace with lotus badges and good hit with the lowering stick! We did a replica Alan Mann racing service barge estate. Had the writing in the stripe and lotus steels but we have two other mk1s that needed attention so was unfinished when sold on. Great car though mate, bet it gets some attention!
Can i ask what engine spec this is? it sounds a touch rough so im guessing its pretty meaty?
Ive got a mk1 in the same colours (4 door though) and its got a 1600 in it. Got minilites at the moment, but this video has made me decide to fit my lotus steels :)

The only time I got to see Clark drive, in person, was in a Loyus Cortina at Sebring....
Drafting 904's, Alfa TZ's, and cornering on 3 wheels.... before 911's made that seem normal.... Jim was truly something special...
1964 or 1965 Team Lotus....c. 3:15 laps, if memory serves..

It has a 1500 GT engine with a straight through side exit exhaust,thats why it sounds loud! :)

I was toying with a side exit too. Either that or a centre exit. Do you have any silencer at all?
