Dunc - Thanks for the nod!!  Jack and I have already been messaging prior to my eBay post!!  He’s looking for something a little different.

As guido says 🙂

Call me picky but I’d like something a little more subtly styled personally.

Oh, so I guess you wouldn't be interested in my Cup 250 then?     

[Jackf]

I wish! Haha

Jack,

When the chaps at work first saw my Elise I got ripped a new one because it was too bland!!! 🤣 My next Lotus will be a bright colour!!!

I’ve narrowed my choice down to 3 and Jack certainly wouldn’t like 2 of them.    Subtle they are not!!!!

One for you Jack,

My S1 in Nautilus Blue - which is rich dark green in sunlight and very deep blue in the shade.

Your workmates must have some lairy stuff if that’s the case!

Look forward to seeing what you get.

Ha!  One particular colleague calls me John Major because my car is so grey!!

Hi all, been to see a red s2, seems tidy enough and I quite like it. 
The seller sent me some pictures of in the wheel arches, just wondering why the bit of chassis I’ve circled green has gone brown. Is it normal?

Don't think it’s dirt.

Probably nothing but thought I’d ask.

cheers

Its probably dirt. Cant see what else it could be, its pure aluminium there. Get some close up pics, and ask them if it wipes off....

As said, probably nothing.   Depending on mileage and usage history (dry / largely dry / all weathers) I’d be more concerned about the front upper wishbone mounts and how they have fared.   The aluminium can corrode due to electrolysis.

I'd say dirt aswell. If you look at one of the horizontal lines of red glue infront of the chassis leg that seems to have the same colour dirt aswell. You know who the best person to ask is of course 😉!

[Jackf]

Thanks again chaps, one of them where I forgot to look when I was actually there 🤦🏻‍♂️ it’s been mot’d in December every year so I’m guessing it’s seen salt.

If that’s what causes the wishbone mounts to corrode, or is it the two different metal's that do that?
