Re: Toyota key... original?

I have my original keys from 1991, and if you hold them at the right angle with a suitable light source you can see where the Toyota badge was sanded (or similar) off.

Re: Celebration for sale

The Celebration first mentioned by Phil, H15XEL, and supposedly sold for £17K is in the Classic Car Auctions sale on 24th September. It is with a guide price of £12K - £15K. Something odd here. The CCA site even has the same photos. https://www.classiccarauctions.co.uk/cca033-lot-5173-1991-lotus-exc...

Re: 2 Buckled Wheels!

I acquired 5 "new" refurbished OZ wheels from Lotusbits a while ago as 2 of my original Celebration wheels were out, 1 had been kerbed a long time ago, but the other 2 seemed OK.
I have the original wheels which are available but would need a refurb.
Please contact me if you are interested.

Race Retro 2022 OFF

Unfortunately Race Retro at Stoneleigh will not be taking place in February 2022.
It will return in 2023.

I will be marshalling the Ashbourne start as usual, followed by set up and car parking duties.

Absolutely Ridiculously priced. Perfectly suitable tyres are available by the set for the price of one of those. Talk about milking the brand :shock:
I think the price is largely dictated by volume. 215/50 R15 hasn't been a standard fit on anything for years.
