Re: NEC Restoration Show - 22-24 March 2024
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 last1...

We had a visit today on the LGT stand from the Business Manager for Classic Team Lotus. We discussed the spares they've taken on from Paul Matty and he seemed genuinely interested in how they could support the Grand Tourers going forward. I mentioned that top and bottom windscreen trims for Elite / ...

Re: Electric window
Don't worry about the wires. Just connect and try. If it's wrong all that will happen is window will go down when you press up and vica-versa. By channel, if you mean the felt seal the window runs in, you'll need to remove the glass first. Awkward job and you will probably need to at least unbolt th...

Re: NEC Restoration Show 2024 - Call for Volunteers
I'll aim to be there by 9;30, rush hour traffic permitting. I've got the mugs and board sticker, so some work to do to dismantle the boards and stick other side. Thanks Richard, they look great.

Re: Electric window
To take the motor off the arm, you need to take the tension out of a big FO coiled spring. Easy enough if you clamp the arm in a vice, but don't just take the 3 imperial bolts out or you'll be down A&E.

Re: Electric window
Motor mounts to a plate with 3 bolts from the rear as already mentioned (imperial bolts). First removed the Motor and plate. The plate bolts direct to the door beam with 4 off M 6 bolts. Once these bolts are free, the glass will drop to any position you want (provided it's not jammed in the frame so...

Re: Grand Tourers Register
Thanks Bryan.
The one on Facebook is also now on Ebay - Again. I did have it on the register.
Owner is optimistic on price for a garage find. It's been doing the rounds now for about 3 months.
