I'm trying to get organised for once!! My MOT and next service are due in the first couple of weeks in May so I want to get my car booked in somewhere early. I bought the car from Lotus Silverstone, so my gut is to take it to them as any issues that 'appear' might be covered under warranty and I'll also be in a slightly better position to negotiate rates on any work that does need doing!! A service quoted Β£368. MOT Β£75 (inc 0.2 hrs to take it to the test station!!) This leads me to the age-old problems of is it worth getting the work completed by a dealer just to get a LOTUS stamp in my service book. I could book the car in with a Lotus specialist like PJS o…

A late HNY all. I posted in here about a year ago to find a project Lotus car - remembering a good few suggestions from this group. I just really enjoy restoring cars to their former glory - and connecting to communities for advice / compare notes. After a lot of patience and holding my nerves, Iβm finally collecting a Exige 430cup next week thatβs not had the best start of life (but low mileage). Pictures to be posted once I collected. I live near Loughborough and my first job is to find someone that can repair the clamshells. Does anyone know of a great local clamshell repair body shop in the midlands? This is a dream car for me and a forever one, and …

If anybody is looking for a well sorted Evora NA in pristine condition, low mileage, and a great colour, look no further. I am the previous owner of this car, and know it well. The current owner has asked me to advertise it for him as Iβm apparently quite good at that sort of thing π It is an absolute belter - and very reasonably priced in my view. Please ping me a message if interestedβ¦. Advert here: https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/17893364

Hi to all the members Iβve just joined the group. recently I bought an Elise S2 which had an Audi Quattro 1.8 turbo fitted along with various upgrades to the engine etc. it also has a toad sterling alarm fitted, I bought it from a body shop it was sold as seen with no fob for the immobiliser etc so just wondering if the car and conversion rings a bell with any member Iβve removed both clams to repair them and am scratching my head looking at the wiring etc, so at the end of this lengthy bit I could do with finding out where the conversion was done or a garage that does this type of conversion, it is a black Elise S2 2003 with a private plate Eliset Many thanks

With the newish craze of what can only be described as the our sneaky lotus photos Iβd though Iβd have a little bash today whist tootling past a well know members house after his recent delivery of the new yellow peril π not a bad attempt but Iβm sure there are better out there? Did have one thought though, could make for quite an entertaining 2025 MLOC Callander! Please feel free to share your attempts.

Like drinking red wine, wearing slippers, getting gout etc, I always thought that one day I might end up in a Morgan! It started with my winning/buying a day in an Emira at LitP a couple of years ago, kindly donated for auction by Central Lotus for our Rainbows charity. The rest of that year came and went with no Emira in sight, then similarly last year with no-shows of the i4 which I was interested in, then this year when my non-availability pushed dates back and then Central ceased their new-Lotus agency. And finally their demo Emira was recently purchased by Ray!! But no worries, Andy/Connor were keen to get their Morgan cars out there and last Fridayβs booki…
