The Lotus Grand Tourers

Mine also turned up today.

I'm looking at a potential complete new system for Excels from exterior handle to latch. The handles are too fragile and impossible to replace, and the latch variant used is also proving impossible to find and prone to breaking internally. Alternative handles are tricky to find because they need to...

Why? Because they are trying to sell it or because they were moving it around with a fork lift and dropped it?
