Lido ALF 704S
Restoration about to start.... was created by Andy Rowley
Just arrived at my house, my GF was getting a bit lonely so it now has a friend!
It was originally a Lido but has been used for racing. I intend to remove the racing mods and restore it generally back to a Lido spec.
It doesn't have an engine at the moment and I have a few ideas as to what to install, but nothing decided. The bodywork is in very good shape, there is a bit of welding required but nothing structural.
It should keep me quiet for a while...
Incidentally, I used the Shiply website to arrange transport to bring the car to my house and it worked out very good, firms quote to deliver and you choose the cheapest / most suitable, very good and would use again.....might have to!!!

Looks an exciting project, Andy! Best of luck with it.
You may have contradicted yourself a little when you say you wish to restore it back to Lido spec but then you say you want to put a Lancia twin cam in....
whatever you do I'm sure you will have fun doing so.

You've spotted my deliberate mistake there Jim 
What I meant to say was I want to restore it back to look like a Lido but with a different engine and a few other things. See I'm already confusing myself!!
I know what I mean anyway :lol:

Yes, the current paint job is certainly unique.
The Starsky & Hutch style stripes are hand painted
If you look closely at the rear of the car, the original air intakes have been fitted to the rear of the wing to let hot air flow out. Not sure how successful this was?
So there's some repair work there to get that back to what it should be.
