About the Project
Wyn has been a true hero to all S1 owners who wish to re-trim S1 Esprits to the original green and tartan trim. Wyn put in all the donkey work in finding the mill where the green material was originally made. Three hundred metres of the cloth were made and we sent 80 metres of it away to have it backed with a scrimmed foam.
Wyn started his restoration several years ago and the car finally came to us in November 06 with the seats, dash and transmission tunnel having been trimmed three years previously. That left the felt, carpets, headlining, rear bulkhead and engine bay to do. Three weeks later we were finished and – to Wyn’s delight – had arranged for Roger Becker, stunt driver in the film The Spy Who Loved Me and now a Lotus director, to be at the workshop to tell Wyn a few tales about the car on the day Wyn collected it from us.
