Re: Elite 50th Anniversary - Banner / Display ?

Great input guys, seems like there is a meaningful quorum. I’ll set the zoom up and post details here over the weekend.

Cheers, Richard

Re: looking to buy a Excel 1982 or 1983 era

Beware - there seems to be a fault in the board software (phpbb) that means messaging is not reliable. If you feel comfortable I suggest exchanging email addresses. Otherwise if you authorise me to do so, as administrator I can access members’ email addresses and can forward your address on - just p...

Re: Elite 50th Anniversary - Banner / Display ?

Although not a designer, I did create the Elite/Eclat 45th anniversary logo, the roll-up display and the new club logo using nothing more than Microsoft Publisher. Unfortunately the Lotus font that I used - Eurostile - has been dropped from Microsoft’s latest generation of products, but if anyone st...

Hi sorry bit late to this thread. Can I still buy a calender. Thanks.
Yes - we have a couple left. Can you email me your address: rwoollaston at gmail.com then I’ll give you payment details. Assuming you are in the UK then with post & packing the price is £20.

Re: SA Gear lever

Yes,there is definitely a spring that presses the steel rod downwards into the selector detents. I think it’s the same selector used on Land Rovers and BMWs of a similar vintage, so you might find a part there.

Re: Elite/Eclat carpet templates

Ok I think I know how we can make these patterns available. I can source a large sheet of graph paper (probably A0 size) and lay each marked piece on it in turn. Then I will photograph each piece on the paper, using which pictures correctly sized carpet pieces can be cut. The challenge would have be...

Re: Register of potential show cars

Thanks guys! Keep them coming. As Farmer Richard says, it looks like we are reasonably well prepared for the Resto show, but we do need some backup in case of dropouts etc. This thread will be particularly useful in preparing for the 2024 classic motor show where we need a really good showing for th...

Register of potential show cars

In order that we don’t repeat the problems we had this year obtaining a wider selection of cars, including original Elites, Eclats and Excels, to exhibit at the NEC, it would be really useful to start with a list of cars that members may wish to exhibit, normally at the NEC (as that hosts both the n...

Re: NEC Classic Motor Show 2023 Friday 10 - Sunday 12 November 2023

Well I’ve just got time to pen a few words after being at work yesterday. The show might have disappointed lotusexcel.net purists. We didn’t have many cars offered for the show, and of course we can only show what is offered, but we ended up with lovely cars - Marcus’ beautifully crafted Excel recre...
