Lotus Elite / Eclat / Excel

Looks like you have the self-designed (and manufactured) head rest fitted to the driver's seat.

I also got the email today. Sad but not surprising with the recent news. In fact, the way scientists are talking about timescales for vaccines, the Practical Classics Restoration show may have to be delayed but I hope not. I will be willing to help whenever it is.

Sold for £9,768. Definite sign of Elite prices firming up.

Some nice pictures of some nice cars there, Phil.

Bought my tickets so I will be there. I see from their pictures that there was a nice-looking Elite there last time.

I wasn't planning to go but might now just for the novelty of having two Excels there.

That sounds like a useful tip. Thanks!

I think it's the VAT on the 11% so +13.2%. You shouldn't have to pay VAT on the car.

It does look very nice. Be interesting to see what it fetches.

May be going out on Wednesday but will join in if I can!

Looks very tidy, indeed!

Thanks, Richard. Just let us know.

Mine is glued on whxh makes getting the parts up against the windscreen difficult to re-glue.

If your tank is stuck when you want to remove it try running the pump with the tank breather blocked. Tank will probably collapse due to the small vacuum thus created inside it.

Audis and Mercedes used to use vacuum motors to operate the central locking having a little vaccum pump and a lot of pipes. Isn't the force just the vacuum pressure times the area of the diaphragm? I guess the diaphragm is the same diameter as the pod.
