Customer Focus: Francis Phillips and his Lotus Europa S2

We are very excited to share with you what one of our customers has been up to for… about 3 years!

Francis Phillips, a retired Project Manager, took his experience of building Car and Aircraft factories and applied it to something a little bit smaller and a whole lot cooler: a 1971 Lotus Europa S2. And to make it even more worthwhile, Francis is doing a tour of car shows across the county, raising funds for Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust.

We asked Francis to share a little bit about his restoration project.

She's being restored... but she really ain't happy about it

The town of Doncaster is buzzing this month, amidst news that a beloved sculpture is to be restored to its former glory.
The giant fibreglass artwork, The Lovers, sparked much clutching of pearls when it was first unveiled in 1968. It was originally installed in the fountain of the then Arndale Centre, and proved to become a beloved fixture over the years. It seemingly disappeared in the mid-1980s during the centre's rebranding as the Frenchdale Centre.

But! In 2006, it came to light that The Lovers had been canoodling at the bottom of someone's garden for some 20+ years. There was even a Facebook group set up in its honour.
