tom kilner Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Got a bite! Don't think it's a chassisfish though - looks more like an oily engine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't Be Foolish Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Whilst looking through some old photographs recently, I came across some of a family holiday to Blackpool back in 1977, when I was 15 years old. In amongst the pictures of the tower and the donkeys, was this one of a red Lotus Elite in the car park of where we were staying, the Norbreck Castle Hotel. Proof, if needed, that my purchase of an almost identical car some 40 years later was the fulfillment of a childhood dream! PS - the picture next to it is my dad's 1976 Rover 3500 in very period 'Brazilia Brown'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the late response, I just got the car dug out of the corner. It's Lagoon Blue L12. On a good note, just before i put her away last fall, i managed to put new wheel cylinders on the tears. Wow what a project what was! Those clips that hold them in and the brake lines are a real bear to deal with!. She fired fight up and is running strong, brakes feel perfect, I'm hoping to get it out during the week for a few shake down runs. 3 Quote '89 Esprit, '77 Elite 503, '72 MGB, '95 XJ12, '10 Mini Cooper, '67 Imperial, '78 New Yorker, '76 Town & Country '73 Cessna 150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rjwooll Posted June 5, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Here is a picture I acquired recently in this year of the Elite's 45th birthday.
