Should it be like that !?!

Hi ,
A new CLF member join us , having an DHC 67’ S3 .
Its car has a serial number beginning with 45-XXXX .
Nothing wrong with that , but , as I never saw a S3 DHC without canopy or tonneau cover , I wonder if the fiber should look like that :

Please tell me more …
Christian.

From the distance this photo was taken at - it seems OK to me. On my car, the hidden from display areas of fibreglass are not finished that well either.


Thanks Richard for your reply …
So , It seems that S3 DHC have more or less a FHC body that have been cut .
I though Lotus made a better finish …
Christian.

Ah, sorry Christian, I thought you were referring to the finish on the inside of the bodyshell, rather than its actual shape. As for the shape of the windscreen surround & tonneau cover - it’s difficult to tell.

Regards

Richard

Christian,

The Hood tray fits in there attached by the Studs for the Hood; it looks a lot tidier when it’s all put together.

Cheers
John

Christian, every S3 and S4 DHC that I’ve seen looks like that. It looks very unfinished until the package tray and trim pieces go on, as John said.
