The Lotus Grand Tourers

The later ones (collumn and indicator stalks) are coming from Toyota (Sunny etc.) not sure about your version, but I would guess BL / Austin.

Hi Karl,

I would be interested in the speedo.

Welcome!
The Excel was never imported to the States officially.
IIRC, a handful made it somehow, though...

Great news Gary.

I have sent you a PM.

Hi Gary,

any luck finding that Speedo?

Looks great mate! Good job.
Are the light pods supposed to sit that low?

yes, speedo is cable driven. Does it read the speed correctly?
The oil gauge is supposed to go to max if the iginition is turned on and should go to the correct reading if the engine is running.
Check the cables at the oil sender, which sits under the airbox.

Oz, what a coincidence.

I know this question was posted ages ago. But I just finished the job last night! :D So if you want to fit a keyless entry (with or without car alarm / immobiliser) using the existing CDL setup: The control unit has to provide a minimum 5 second signal to the actuators to work properly. My car alarm...

The headlight reflectors on my Celebration model are beginning to corrode - does anyone have any experience in fixing these? Any guesses where they come from? I gather that Lotus themselves have discontinued them, is that right? Just a quick fix: In order to pass MOT I have painted the 'corroded' p...

BTW, I would be interested in the hose set if it is in the 100-150 quid range...
