The Lotus Grand Tourers

It looks like this Eclat has automatic 2 point belts in the rear https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lotus-Eclat-Monaco-white-1978-Rare/123550037290 Does somebody has a source for them which will fit properly without any modifications in an Eclat? all I could find are manual adjustable ones... but I dont wan...

Yup. Great read. Thanks for sharing

When should the party happen?

Do it. I am sure there will enough helping hands along the trip, at least on the way back

The area which is scheduled is awesome. A must see and even bette a must to drive with a proper sports car

This sounds very promising and it would be our first choice before arrival of Baby.Hasi

With her it will be too much trouble for us so we have to pass this time.

Maybe we will make it to one of the other events (peak, TLF and the likes) to see you again.

Oiii... :cry: that is sad. Could you please provide the VIN and engine number so that we could have a look out there for her?

Yes the are pricey but at the end...

The last one looks fine to me. Now how must it be attached to the car?

I have changed it 2011. A PITA job. The bill should be in the documents in the beginning.

Hasn’t last that much...

Are you sure about excitement? :) Yes! on the one side every day boxes with boring design with millions on the street like this (sorry) and on the other the exotic, erotic ones with true racing pedigree which lives on through the car and you will taste it... Drive one and let us speak after it :win...

Don't worry about parts... nearly all of them are available in stock or better quality at the special dealers. Used parts are to get every now and then. Take a look at the bottom of the boot, the joint between the spare tire and the boot floor. Doors are already mentioned. Nothing which could not be...
