Re: 205/60 14 v rated from Longstone
These are what I fitted to my Elite a year or so back (from Longstone). Great service / delivery and have been fine on the car. Highly recommended.

Re: Hinckley Motor Show 17th September
Fine with me. Making a few days round trip of it, Kent, to Beaconsfield area to meet up with a gentleman who spent some time on our stand at last year's NEC, and has been hunting for a running, presentable, 'standard' Elite S1 before and since, just going to give him a run out in it whist nearby to ...

Re: Elite roof
Miles, a.k.a. 'Fibre glass Services' is a top (but now old) guy. His book on the 'Lotus/Ford' twin cam is the bible for that and in the 70's 80's 90's he was the guy for high end fibre glass repairs, he is still around and still has some OEM spare parts for 'special customers' and will 'advise for a...

Re: Mesh for Elite lower radiator inlet
No thanks Pete, mine had a 'new old stock' one supplied / fitted by Miles Wilkins (a.k.a. Fibreglass Services) a few months before I bought it 3 years back. Should be okay for at least another year then !
