The Lotus Grand Tourers

Ive sent an email to classic team Lotus nagging them to buy it back, anyone else want to join the 'nag' and get them to buy it back ?

Ps, I dont do facebook but is anyone willing to drop the idea there too including Esprit owners.

Nowt to do with me (or it wouldnt be for sale), the active esprit at anglia auctions, I say active, the last owner clearly didnt get the suspension working, but..... I presume the active Excel never made it out of the captivity of Hethel. Bash https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/classic-auctions/2625-27...

Vents and spoiler could be 3d printed but Peter has hit the nail on the head, its a lot of money to cock up.

I wonder how difficult it would be to convert to a pre 88 model ?

Bash

Nope, but I might use it one day

Cheers Richard. I seem to remember when I had that problem that it was the short rubber hose at the back of the water pump.

Ive been driving mine quite a bit lately and it saves having to have the light pods up on a grotty day. Glad you like it.

Bash

Something similar, saves cutting into any wires. When its parked no one knows they are there and I could remove them and no one would know they had been there.

Ive fitted some discreet ones. DRLs are on when the ignitions on but go off a soon as the lights are switched on. I used two led lights from carbuilder solutions https://www.carbuilder.com/uk/micro-28mm-white-front-marker-side-light-pair , a relay, some light duty wiring because led lights hardly us...

Posted this a while ago but when it comes to pipes .....

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.

That's a great colour for that era of car.

Bash

There may be a market for those !!

I had similar gel cracks etc when I pit the v8 in that needed remedial work to look like new after spraying, I then covered the area at most risk with heat reflective tape. That's been on about 6 or 7 years ago now and still looks good.
I'm enjoying the updates, keep em coming.

How very dare you mr boole.
