Re: 1970 Lotus Elan S4 parting out.

Yes, Lotus spares are always good to have, I remember when I had my Lotus Cortina, one of the things that bothered me most was that front timing cover.

Re: All About Me (Michael)

Looks very sound, do you find yourself overwhelmed with too many vehicles these days? I think that I may have to downsize my 100e collection to create some garage work space and time to devote to my other vehicles, there is one too many cars in there.

Time To Clean Out The Forum

Well, it looks like we have been carpet bombed by some mindless pedlar of who knows what? Time for a major sweep of this forum, how do they get in anyway?

Re: tariffs

He'll be lucky to get half of that asking price. Unfortunately. It's beautifully done.

(I need that choke knob, but not worth me buying the entire car.)


What type are you looking for, I have a few spares here that are not perfect but good enough to use in a daily driver.
