Colin in Whitley Bay can help you out as a Lotus specialist, "Revline". Haven't got his contact details to hand but he's on Foxhunters Ind Est IIRC, and has a webpage if you Google it.

Pop over to http://www.lotees.org.uk/ as well for one of your local groups (there's also NELOC and Club Lotus NE section). Lots of us around in the North East and you'll be made welcome wherever you go, I'm sure.

Colin at Revline changed the clutch on my Excel last year and did a good job. There is nothing flash about his workshop but he knows his stuff.

Hope the resto goes well.
