Jeremy is correct. One of the GoMoG members in Ottawa has a Lotus twin cam
in what was one of the last cars brought into Windsor (Metro Motors). It
was brought in sans engine and the twim cam installed there. It was badged
as a 4/4 and registered as a "Johnson Special". On checking with Peter
Morgan, David Rees-Potter, current owner, was told it should be badged as a
+4 as it is the same as cars prepared for the Paris to Peking stint several
years ago. Toad may have more details.....
