The Lotus Grand Tourers

I’m sure this car has featured on here, but can’t find post at the moment.

What’s left of an Elite for sale on Facebook. Not sure there’s much usable on it, but does seem to have all windscreen trim.

Nothing special, just the nut on the end of the fuel line to each carb. If fully refurbing carbs you will need to take the carb off the car, including the top cover. Otherwise it’s going to be a struggle to remove the float, float valve and top gasket. One thing to note - when removing the pin that ...

In a word - no. Anodised trims were wrapped, a few minor paint blemishes, but biggest issue looked to be drivers door, which had dropped significantly. Window frames didn't look great either. Alan and I reckoned it would have been a good buy at £12K. Particularly as it's done very few miles in last...

I am keen to put carpets in my car and was wondering where you where on the templates, as I am keen to borrow them

Coverdale have templates - they sent a set to me to check fit when I ordered a set from them. I marked up what I needed and returned them.

If applying power make sure you put negative to the body of the motor and positive to one of the contacts in the plug - one will be up, the other down.

What's the dress code?

Are these likely to be available to get hold of before the show?

So being a LITP newbie, do I get from this there will be nothing organized for during the day on Saturday? Maria was hoping to visit something in Matlock at some point on our travels and from this it looks like she could do that on the Saturday? In which case we will do that and plan the few days e...

The switch position can be adjusted. Try holding in each one as far as it will go to see if that turns out the lights. If it does adjust switch. If not, then going to need to use tester on switches, or pull wires as Tony says to eliminate each one in turn. Driver’s side not too difficult, passenger’...

There are 2 different columns fitted depending on year.
I had about 15mm in/out play on an early one - lower bearing completely shot. Also the lower dome that bolts to the bulk head was rotten - managed to get a good used one.

As Marten says - more precise control. What our cars are renowned for, so I’d certainly want to keep the original setup. Having a rubber bush will allow small movements of the rack losing some of the precision and feedback between road and hands. Similar concept to using rose joints rather than rubb...

Link doent open for me

The post has gone.
There were a lot of people very quickly interested - so may have sold
Or
As it was on a group that doesn’t allow selling, might have been removed.

You can also get 20l from Tayna for £117.48 delivered.

I “think” that’s their normal price.

One of the best Excels available. How much is it?

Pete

Doesn’t say.
