Elite series 1 wheel colour?

Can anyone give guidance on what colour Lotus painted the alloys on early cars. I have some pictures from publicity brochures, which look virtually black. But with tyre off, there is a grey paint inside the rim where the sun don't shine. Interestingly, the series 1 Elite featured in Issue 6 of Absol...

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

Progress update. Dingdong have confirmed they can produce a silver sticker with correct black Jackson Mn font. They will be sticky on the back, so will need to stick to the stricker or the stricker cover, but I don't see this as a problem. They could produce a window sticker, sticky side on the fron...

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

Took some searching, but the font looks like it's called "Jackson Mn Regular". Found it on fontsgeek.com, but struggling to download it !! Thanks to KKV for providing the direction ( Sorry, don't know your name). Have passed info to Isaydingdong, so waiting on reply. Looking promising. They said the...

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

Was getting late last night, and just getting a picture to load was a major step forward for me. Been playing again this morning and hopefully now a better size https://www.dropbox.com/s/5lnzhetgi2fdqzk/PHTC%20photo%20small.jpg?raw=1 Image of my "recreation" based on this - I said it was not a prett...

Clues appreciated on how I make smaller in future.

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

Great. Thanks. That's the thread I remember from previous. The font is quite different to the remnants of my sticker. If I can just figure out how to include a picture in post, I'd show all what I have so far. Spoke to Lotus Bit's today. They don't have anything. I've contacted isaydingdong who were...

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

Thanks Ian. Nothing on the suggested Web site, but I'll email them with my current best estimate of what this label looked like. Can't say it is a nice font (very top heavy). The remnants of my label give good indication of what the P, S, H and E looked like, but I've had to guess at the other chara...

Re: Elite vin plate

Correct. My car is very early. The VIN plate was stamped up in March 74, so agree they were using up old stock.

Enter it in the search box on SJ's web site and you can find a photo which exactly replicates what I received.

Re: Elite vin plate

SJ Sports cars have these. I got one just last weekend. They look identical, but the listed Lubricants are in a different order to my original plate. But then again, they are different again on photo in this thread. - All have the correct spelling of Lubricant though. Similar topic. Anyone know wher...

Elite boot lid "Push Here To Close" label

Anyone out there know the font used and layout of the "PRESS HERE TO CLOSE" label on the rear hatch of a 1974 elite. I have enough visible to see some of the letters, and it looks like the background was originally silver with black letter. I measure the label at 24mm x 20mm. Beyond that, I don't ha...
