Popular Post eliteman Posted April 4 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 4 Hi All. It’s been a while but I’m buying back my old Elite so returning to the Forums soon. It’s good to be back. Will keep you all posted on the journey! Thanks. Liam 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exeterjeep Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 Liam, Elites are great looking cars. Hopefully the car lives up to the way you remember it, and that someone has been looking after it while it was away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliteman Posted April 4 Author Report Share Posted April 4 Yes for sure. It’s been in very good hands. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliteman Posted April 6 Author Report Share Posted April 6 She’s a nice one. Just to get the carbs off and sent away to Esprit engineering for a re build and we should be good to go until the next Lotus drama! Love these cars! 😍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 That's a great looking Elite. Is it original, or just undergone some (read ALOT) of work? Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post eliteman Posted April 16 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted April 16 Hi Tony. It’s original. It’s quite an interesting car as it’s one of the very last S1’s built. It’s had a galvanised chassis from new. Apparently the final 3 had galvanised chassis as the factory had no original ones left! It’s had a lot of work over the years and a manual conversion from Automatic. Mike Taylor from Lotusbits had carried out much work for me many moons ago to a very high standard. Mike was a true Godsend at the time and really helped me out with loads of things. It then went to a friend of mine who has continued over the years to improve her. She’s a great car. My love of these cars started in the 80’s. A picture of me my father and brothers at Loch Lomand in the 80’s and my eldest son with an Eclat I owned previously. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 Really interesting about the last 3 S1 cars. I notice you have a S2 front bumper also. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunc Posted Thursday at 10:25 Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:25 Just a stunning looking car - and an important bit of Elite history being pretty much the last S1 made.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post eliteman Posted Thursday at 11:35 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted Thursday at 11:35 Yep. She was one of the last 3 made. Not sure the order… just need to find a replacement set of carbs for her. Stunning car as they all are. Thanks Dunc 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
