Where do you live? I'm on my way!

Yep me too please.

Mines for sale! Owned it for 8 years. https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1127387

Looks like a nice example. Do it!

Good question. I'll need something occupy my idol mind and hands.

Time has come to sell the Elite. I'll of course be putting adverts on Lotusforsale and a couple of other websites. Just a heads up if anyone is interested on here first. Paul.

Does look like an amazing road trip. Great pictures!

Any of you Elite/Eclat owners have one of these fitted next to your voltage regulator? Mine gets really hot when the engine is running and wondered if this was normal?

Makes perfect sense! Thanks again.

Car is running reasonable nicely now but there are some hesitation issues that remain. when I use the strobe light on the timing marks I notice the following: At idle when engine is up to temp the mark on the crankshaft pulley is on the 10degree mark when gentle throttle is applied the timing mark retards to the tdc mark and with further throttle it eventually goes to, where I think, it should. any ideas?

Does it fire up ok from cold? Idle well? Timing issue maybe is what I'm thinking.

Really enjoyed it today and nice to meet new people. Following the other two Elites on the track was brilliant but I struggled to keep up! Sorry I had to shoot off after the parade laps. She wanted me home!

My car is ready to go. A quick polish later on tonight after the kids are in bed. Will be leaving at 0500 so should be there around 0800.

I’ll be there nice and early hopefully.

She lives! Timing was out. 🙄
