Is it just me, or does the coolant expansion tank look like it's on the low/empty side?

[LOTUSMAN33]

Nice colour and good price, agree the coolant bottle looks low but could be staining.

Certainly worth a look?

Congratulations 👏

Well I have left a deposit on a blue M100. The car does need a few things doing, certainly a hood, a couple of small holes and the rear plastic screen is not clear. (Seem to remember that the soft top on one of my old Spitfires - the screen had a zip on 3 sides) Wheels/centres need attention as does the drivers seat. Front bumper needs a refresh, at least managed to have a ride in one for the first time. Somehow reminds me of my old Spitfires. 

Not sure yet when it will be with me yet.

Aaahhhh, the blue SE 😉

May not be. Cheaper than that one.

Found this on ebay,  guy selling an M100 engine to convert the M100 to electric.....

Lotus Elan M100 1.6 Turbo Isuzu *Engine only* 1991 118k good working order

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325128248597?hash=item4bb3275d15:g:V70AAOSwbelhaxwP

add says 

It runs and drives fine, with no leaks, smoke or odd noises and I am able to demonstrate cold startup and the car driving, its pulls very strongly on boost.

I am selling this engine because I am converting the car to electric.

 

Anyone done an electric conversion on an M100???

 

[exeterjeep]

One in USA. Even lower mileage than Justin's  @jepNot clear what it really is.

Yes. Just responding to Jep's earlier post. Problem?

[Rambo]

Couldn't see an earlier reply by Jep, hence my comment 

Sirry, didn't go as far back as March 🤬

[C8RKH]

Errr. But the date of his post was on the "quoted" comment?

 

 

To keep on topic, I really like the look of this one, but not sure if the seat covers are "standard" or retrimmed.

Adore that purple M100. Trim looks correct to me and factory finished, not retrim. 

Just been out in the 50,000th Lotus. What brilliant cars M100 are. A total joy.
