The Lotus Grand Tourers

I have that car as described sitting in my garage . It fits your description fully.
Feel free to PM me should you wish to discuss.

I would loose the smaller components amongst all those Rabbits.

Thought I would update this thread. Drove the car today up and down a private road . No lights or bonnet and lots of induction noise. I think it's the first time it's run under its own power for at least 10 years . First shakedown shows there is much still to do but nevertheless a milestone. Immedia...

I've found mine David, but I don't have the key and it needs a new seal. It's red. £10 + postage?

Pete

That would be great thanks very much .
I will send you a pm

Thanks again very much .

David

They do have a used one . They really have quite unexplainable pricing .
I think a lot of their used stuff seems a good deal until you say you need something.

Thanks gents
If you do have one I am very happy to pay and the pay the postage. Otherwise it's the SJ route and you can see yourself what they want for one .

If you have one please pm me happy to pay for the cap and cover the postage

David

My car has no fuel cap . No fuel tank actually but I just bought one !
Can someone be kind enough to take a picture of the cap please both sides.
Thank you very much

David

I think I read 2.5 litres but it seems not enough , I found the original spec but not the quantity .
Does anyone know please ?

As an update all sorted . The Powerspark does not need any of the Lotus ignition parts to work, just power off the coil and we were away . Did a first start up last weekend after the engine rebuild and it started almost immediately . Watched the carbs fill up and turned the key and within two second...

The joy continues

Whilst waiting for some ignition parts we have been servicing the brakes and discovered the rear offside upright is broken .

So I am on the hunt for one if anyone knows of one that would be good

Thanks

David

It's taken a year to get it back together and no spark. Spent much of today doing all the tests , cleaning all terminals and testing volts and continuity. No spark at all. I have ordered a £20 amplifier unit of e bay for the unit and will try again next weekend. Has anyone fitted one of these powers...

Just passed on today. We have a good collection now around 40 shims. Thank you for the loan .

Yes I have them. If you pm me your address, I am happy to post on.

David

What makes you want this car?
That's a genuine question by the way . It seems the interest in this model is still relatively low and prices held back to me . Just be interested to know from someone who is so clear on what they want .

Thanks
