The Lotus Grand Tourers

I have my original keys from 1991, and if you hold them at the right angle with a suitable light source you can see where the Toyota badge was sanded (or similar) off.

The Celebration first mentioned by Phil, H15XEL, and supposedly sold for £17K is in the Classic Car Auctions sale on 24th September. It is with a guide price of £12K - £15K. Something odd here. The CCA site even has the same photos. https://www.classiccarauctions.co.uk/cca033-lot-5173-1991-lotus-exc...

i have used Wynns Formula Gold both on petrol and diesel cars. Both seem effective.

Emissions on the Excel on 08/03/22:
CO 0.25 max test limit 4.50
HC 235 max test limit 1200

Wheels now spoken for.

I acquired 5 "new" refurbished OZ wheels from Lotusbits a while ago as 2 of my original Celebration wheels were out, 1 had been kerbed a long time ago, but the other 2 seemed OK.
I have the original wheels which are available but would need a refurb.
Please contact me if you are interested.

I think the route does go through Stoneleigh Park!

Unfortunately Race Retro at Stoneleigh will not be taking place in February 2022.
It will return in 2023.

I have had mine since March 1994

Sorry guys I won't be doing my usual helping out as that is the weekend of the Silverstone Classic and I am there with the Sporting Bears.

I use Comma Xstream G48

I will be marshalling the Ashbourne start as usual, followed by set up and car parking duties.
See you there.

The Restoration Show has been cancelled!

Absolutely Ridiculously priced. Perfectly suitable tyres are available by the set for the price of one of those. Talk about milking the brand

I think the price is largely dictated by volume. 215/50 R15 hasn't been a standard fit on anything for years.

It will be down to the examiner. I just shared the link.

Find a friendly MOT inspector if you fit LED or HID headlamps. The following is from the MOT inspection manual regulations from 1st February. "Existing halogen headlamp units should not be converted to be used with high intensity discharge (HID) or light emitting diode (LED) bulbs. If such a convers...
