Some had asked for photos of interior, steering wheel, etc. will get those posted later today. Here are some more I have
This is of engine bay, had valve covers and intake powdercoated so Sean could install when he did the top end refresh, water pump, timing belt, etc. last year. Included all new gaskets, rubber hoses, etc., etc.
This ones shows the quality of the original paint. Gotta see it in person! Oly difference since this photo is I got the clear corner lenses from Roger which are not in this pic.

The car really is in the condition that Kenny says it is. Pristine example, you don't win the 3rd Coast award for the car everyone wanted to have for nuthin.

I would love to see pics of how the clear lenses look on a red car. I have thought about it but was not sure if it would work with red. Please post if you can. By the way, the car is starting to look like all of 23,500.

Kenny's car is absolutely gorgeous. I've never seen Guards Red "pop" in the sun like his does after he had it color sanded. Assuming the mechanicals are as good as the cosmetics, and I have no reason to believe they aren't, and you have one of the nicest 928s out there.
The uninformed buyer doesn't realize how easy it is to drop $10K, on top of the initial purchase price, to bring one of these cars anywhere close to the condition that Kenny's car is already in. They'd be dollars ahead to pay him his asking price and enjoy the ride. GLWS!
Here's a shot from 3rd Coast 2012, taken with my iPhone:

Picture I just took of drivers side portion of hood to show how great the paint is. Yes, we have plants in the garage (due to recent cold weather) and the fan in the reflection is one a floor model I mounted to the ceiling...
And it hasbt been washed since last week!
The gloss looks WAY better in person too!

Does Lotus have Lucas electrical system? I am sure that most folk would be happy to have you at 1st Saturday GTGs but based upon my knowledge of Lucas electricals, I am not sure how often your car would be able to get you there.
Beautiful car BTW!
