The Lotus Grand Tourers

I have just replaced my tyres with 215's and the previous 205/50/R15 86V tyres are free to anybody who cares to pick them up. They have some 7mm tread on them and looks like they only have some 2,000 miles on them and manufactured in 2021. The tyres are Devanti DX390's. I live in East Sussex near Wa...

Good news but whats a PM?

I seem to have aquired two ZF Auto gearbox filtre and seal kits so if anybody out there wants one fror free ill post it to you.

Got a full kit from Funiture Clinic in the end which included an airbrush etc. pretty good for about a £100 and all back to me in 4 days Cleaning and prepping wasnt too bad albeit time consuming. Very good match and doors panels done. Seats next but thats a bigger job as drivers is sagging etc so a ...

I have the new stainless steel jacking plats with tow rivets for each but wondering what do I also use to glue them into place?

Hi I have a cream interior and the drivers and passenger seats need attention. Is there a courant for leather out there which will match I wonder? There are lots of companies that do colourant but they just says cream which could be many shades of cream. So far i cant find something more specific th...

I live just outside Wadhurst East Sussex so not that far from Battle.
Many thanks for the recommentation and i will get in touch with them .

So having bought everything to rebuild the suspension, I have decided it's too much for me having watched the Neil Donaldson youtube saga. So where can I find someone to rebuild it is the question. Of course there is LotusBits but they are a very long way away fro East Sussex. Does anybody know of a...

Think i need to replace by door seals. I can get OEM seals with 90 Degree corner but wonder if something better has arisen in the last few decades of improvements?

Drivers door compleed with new motor and channel seals and all moving very nicely. Turns out taking the frame out was far easier than i thought.
Now to do the passenger door which works slowly so hoping with new channel seals she might be a bit better. if not then another new motor I guess.

Im sur you have another name.
When I get back from getting a few weeks of sunshine to the end of April I will take up your offer and arrange to come.
Appreciated.

I suspected i might not get a responce on this so the next best thing for me is to look at an 89 Excel, mine is an SA, that is complete so I can understand the details of the various seals and the engine bay etc. There is nothing like looking at something rather than a description or a parts manual....

Congrats on the rare SA.
I have an SA but its not really drivable at the moment as needs full suspension rebuild, new power steering, AC doesnt work, sagging headling....I could go on and on but loving every minute of the restoration.

Ive just taken my drivers door apart fixing new glass guide seals etc and noticed on the parts book i was missing some other seals . There is a plastic end trim for the external glass called in the parts book a Finisher Wipseal Rear R/H part AO89V4414K . Any idea where I might find one of these as I...
