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: 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 !
