I haven't got it yet buddy. The seller said it's an '84 and has been hanging in his basement for years.
Would you say it's an MT Fox branded as a Lotus for the American market?

Nathan (macmania) is the one to ask Terry , but im pretty sure the MT Silverfox's were made by Akisu , i know the forks were for definite as mine are both stamped . They were really light frames and the welding was very tidy 8) .

That sounds about ride Joff, as this fork is stamped Akisu too :daumenhoch:
I was just looking on the Museum but not much help really. There is only really 1 of the 5 listed that is any help. The blue Cobra MX-5 can help with a parts option though :daumenhoch:

100% it's the same as a Silverfox frame , both my Silverfox's start with 'A' followed by 5 numbers stamped on the rear dropout :daumenhoch:
Im assuming they were both made in the Akisu factory and then re branded . The only difference to both my Silverfox framesets is the forks on those are stamped Akisu , same dropouts but they are aero tubing as opposed to what look like round on yours .
Nice frameset Terry 8)

Thanks for that Joff. I am really happy with it and cannot wait to get it now. My friend says it is really light :daumenhoch:
I would like to know a bit more about how the MT Fox came to be branded with these decals and if they were indeed all made within the same factory and shipped to different companies for sales. Whatever you can find out Joff would be cool :coolsmiley:
I will contact the 2 other members on the Museum with the MX-5 and the MX-3 and see if or what they can enlighten me with :daumenhoch:
