The Lotus Grand Tourers

Hello All,
Earlier this year I bought a brand new Power Steering Pump from Lotus in their parts sale. List was £217.94 inc VAT, but I paid just £25, plus carriage. Unfortunately I hadn't checked which make of PAS Pump I needed, and (you guessed it) I bought the wrong one, so I can't fit it. There are two makes, the Holbourn, (big fat cylinder, adjusts with an Allen bolt through a curved slot) and the Saginaw (half the size and adjusts with an adjuster stud). The one I bought in error is the Saginaw, part number A912E2568F, "PAS PUMP & HUB ASSEMBLY".
I'd just like to recoup my £25, so will sell for £25, plus carriage at cost. I live in France, but am coming to England early November, so could post it from England to keep the cost down if required by someone in the UK. Alternatively, it could then be collected from me in Andover, Hampshire, or I could bring it with me to the Lotus parts fair at Stoneleign NAC on November 4th.
If no takers before October 18 I'll put it on eBay.
Thanks for reading!

You're the first to say a definite yes, so "SOLD TO YOU", thank you.

Please could you send me an email with your details, including a mobile phone number, and the times that you'll be at Stoneleigh, and I'll send you mine.

Obviously you can just pay me when we meet, but please do be sure to come as there is also already someone on the other Excel site who is interested.

Thanks again,
Tony

PS Please can you double check that this is the right pump for your car - you seem to have a 1985 Excel??? According to the Lotus Service Manual, the Saginaw pump superseded the Hobourn pump from VIN 89 D 2981 Summer 1990... For the avoidance of doubt, there is a sketch of the Saginaw pump on page 24 of the Lotus Service Manual, and on page 4025B of the Lotus Parts Manual. Please can you confirm (or deny!) that you still want my pump.

Thanks,
Tony
