I got a reply from Classic Team Lotus..... Hi John Thank you for your email, yes, we spotted the active Esprit a couple of weeks ago, we did think about bidding but £90k/£120k is way too much for us, for what is possibly a can of worms! We made a big investment buying Paul Matty’s parts, which is sl...

I did mine a couple of years before Richard and its been fine so Im also curious how his was cos it was a pain to do. If the teflon pinion seals look ok leave them alone ( there be dragons !! ). Its usually only the piston seals that need sorting.
