Hello from the UK! :) - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Auto_Funk · 2 Days Ago

Hey guys!

How are you all doing? I'm Llewelyn, from Nottingham UK and I've just bought a 43000 mile '91 car which has been sat for 18 years untouched on a farm. I'm just starting my restoration journey and have been making some YouTube videos on it

Feel free to find me on there, I won't post a link in case it falls outside of the forum rules but I think I'm the only UK ZR-1 owner on there pretty much!
It is already on the register here from when Will the PO owned it.

The car was originally supplied to Germany and is a Euro car which is quite interesting. It came to England in 2000 and has been owned by the same guy since 2001. I purchased it earlier this year and will be doing a resto-refresh type job on it. What I mean by that is that I won't be completely disassembling it - Instead I'll be slowly restoring it whilst keeping it on the road and driving (unless something huge comes up of course!)

Here's a link to a recent Hagerty article on it which has some pictures:

Hey Llewelyn,welcome. Im the one that's been talking to you on Instagram. Any and all questions you could ever ask can be answered on this site. This is the black 91 that's been sitting for years that someone posted a story about it on the ZR-1 Registry page on Facebook.

Subscribed to your channel. Just watched part 4. You are getting on splendidly. Hope to hear it run in part 5.

I started watching with the first "barn find" video and then moved over to your channel. Definitely subscribed and am enjoying the series so far. You guys are doing a great job! It's neat to see the C4 (and especially the ZR-1) appreciated around the world! And of course there is a significance of the ZR-1 in England... prototypes met their grave there, but some were rescued and revived!

I, too, subscribed several days ago to your YouTube documentation of a black 1991 ZR-1.

I am especially interested in your project being I lived in Huntstanton and Heacham Beach (The Wash) Norfolk, England from 1959 to 1962 when my USAF father was stationed at RAF Sculthorpe. That is Lotus Motorcars country; Hethel, Norfolk, England.

I'm looking forward to your success with much anticipation....
