Lotus Price list and book
Paul Robinshaw, who some may know from racing Elans and writing books sometimes attends shows with Club Lotus Staffs. At the last show we attended together he gave me a carrier bag full of old magazines and other Lotus related information. A couple of items of interest for this forum below.

Re: Lotus Price list and book
Great stuff Phil, will put a copy on History & Memorabilia as well.
Yes, the switch illumination on the Elite/Eclat S2 and the pre-SE Excel was from a fibreoptic distribution unit used on Rover SD1s and Jags of the era. One projec5 on the long list of things I might do one day is to replace these with a string of white LEDs off an old Christmas set, as the fibre is quite bulky and awkward to route, as well as being very faint.
Cheers, Richard
