He is pictured with the show’s presenters, Fuzz Townshend and Tim Shaw. Photo: National Geographic Channels TV Car SOS team restore Tony’s pride and joy A RACING fan who suffers from a degenerative spinal condition had a huge surprise when his Lotus Elan was restored in secret, for an episode of the National Geographic Channel’s new series of Car SOS. Tony Webb who lives in Moreton Paddox, near Wellesbourne, with his wife, Ros, bought his 1970 Lotus Elan +2 in 2004. The car had a colourful history of previous owners, including racing champions and tax evaders. Tony intended to take on the car’s restoration and collected many parts for it. But Ros told the Midweek Herald that with all the will in the world, Tony’s spinal condition meant it would have been difficult for him to carry out the restoration work. The condition could mean that the 65-year-old may need wheelchair assistance in just a couple of years, and Tony had considered selling his Lotus. One day Ros caught sight of an advert in a car magazine that Tony had left lying around the house, calling for people to be nominated for the Car SOS team to carry out much-needed restorations to their cars. Ros responded to the advert and contacted the show in September to successfully nominate Tony and the Lotus. When they took the car away for the work to be carried out, she told her husband that the car was being stored with a friend in Oxfordshire. After the restoration was complete, Tony was taken on a factory tour at Lotus cars, of Norfolk, and during the visit he was presented with his beloved car. Much to the surprise of the couple, the colour had been changed during the restoration work from red to yellow—the Lotus’ original colour. Ros added: “I was delighted we kept it very secret. My husband is quite suspicious so it was quite an achievement. Quite a lot of people were involved.” Tony and Ros will feature in the final episode of the series, named ‘Lotus Flowers’ on Thursday 11th April at 8pm. Expires 15th April 2013
