Re: 1978 Lotus Elite for Sale

Well spotted Leigh. I only noticed the mistype myself after I had posted the advert and now can’t work out how to change it. Fortunately, the correct mileage of 109,500 is shown in the description so hopefully any body looking will realise that it hasn’t actually travelled to the moon and back :oops:

Re: 1978 Lotus Elite Spare Parts

Good morning Pete,

No, the boot release cable is a secondhand item that I bought from Lotusbits but never fitted to my car.

If you wouldn’t mind sending me your email address via a PM, I will take some photos later today and send them to you.

Thanks for your interest,

Bill

Re: Elite boot lid "Push Here To Close" label

https://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/topic/46859-press-here-to-close-series-1-tailgate-sticker/#comments Hopefully the above should be a link to a thread on the Lotus Forums from a while ago which has a photo of a ‘press here to close’ sticker on an Elite rear window. I’m not sure if it’s the origi...

Re: Lotus Elite/Eclat Riviera Bonnet

Good evening Fueltheburn, I'm really sorry for bothering you again but I was wondering if you have received any update as to whether it would be possible to manufacture an extra Riviera bonnet in carbon fibre and if so, at what price? The reason for me asking is that my car is literally in the middl...

Re: Lotus Elite/Eclat Riviera Bonnet

I messaged Bauke via the Lotus Forum and lotuselan17 via eBay but both were unable to help. Mike at Lotusbits was very helpful as always and although he didn’t have a second hand one in stock for sale, he did work out a quote to make one brand new from a mould taken of a bonnet from a customer’s car...

Re: Lotus Elite/Eclat Riviera Bonnet

Good evening Hawaiis0

Thanks very much for your comment on my previous post. I’ve had similar pleas up on the Lotus Forum and Pistonheads since the beginning of January and despite well over 100 views, yours is the first reply I’ve had (I even had my hopes up for a second :D )

Lotus Elite/Eclat Riviera Bonnet

I realise that this is a very long shot but I was wondering if anyone had an unwanted Riviera bonnet lying around in the garage, in between the boxes of hens’ teeth and rocking horse poo! Any help locating one would be greatly appreciated.
