Lotus Elite / Eclat / Excel

Nice one, Tony! If I'd known it was that simple...

Ref the grommet sealing, you might want to look at that anyway as I might not have re-sealed it the last time it was disturbed.

Good luck with the old girl, Tony. I am glad she has found a great new home and owner.

I guess I was just used to pressing harder on the clutch pedal! The thought of assuming the position to adjust the clutch didn't entice me into trying it again...

Not at the motors but there are relays and electronic modules in circuit, in the passenger footwell side.
I obviously spoke too soon; the lights were up again this morning. Ah well.

Nope! Well, not on this occasion...

My car has on occasion performed this "undocumented feature", most recently in the past few days. It wasn't until this evening that I realised why... I had removed the car's stereo a while back to swap with one from another car. As it happened, I put the same stereo back in at the weekend but realis...

I have now taken a deposit on the car from a fellow forum member.

There were fifteen cars built in 1992 rather than sixteen. I do have details of all of them plus the rest of the 92MY cars that were built in '91, and almost have all of the Celebration cars. I was planning on posting up details when my research is completed.

Messages from both of you received last night; will reply this morning.
The car is still here.

You can still buy the Valvoline one, can't you? I am sure I have seen them for sale at one of the specialists.

It might also be worth contacting Dan at divinehandcraft.co.uk as he is a Lotus owner who does stickers (well-known on other Lotus forums). I should have mentioned him yesterday!

I am pretty sure that the font is called "Jackson" and the version used by Lotus is a heavy or bold style. Your recreation is a good effort but the lines are too straight; the horizontal edges should have a curve to them. You can download the font yourself and then get some made by somewhere like St...

Yes, MOT until October and currently taxed as well. Gave it a 50-mile run just yesterday.
Am in Yorkshire near M62/M18.

My car is still available, I haven't made too much effort to sell it but it is not getting used so would be better in a new home.

I can e-mail more pictures to anyone interested, or follow link below:

Absolutely. However, in this case I don't think that applies. It seems to me that it was quite deliberate to choose a VIN for the final car and then build other cars up to that number. But they didn't actually build that many and thus there is a gap where no VINs were used, and the final car (pictur...

I have had a chance to check my records now and it is likely that the car above is the final chassis number and the car built for Hazel Chapman. I only have it recorded as being red, but it makes perfect sense that this is it.
It was not the final car built (completed), however.
