Drumbogle 2 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 I've just bought an almost totally unmolested Elite; originally supplied to France where it has always remained in the Department. It's currently undergoing a thorough engine/mechanical overhaul (which may throw up 'issues'!) but for the moment all I'm looking for are the following: Floor board, Boot (B075V1020Z) - mine's absent Carpet, Boot floor (B07SV1015Z) - mine's tatty Rear washer reservoir (X036B6161Z) - mine's absent Bag holder/Battery clamp (B075U0326Z) - mine's absent Clock - Kienzle (B075N6005Z) - mine's good looking, but not working! Radio (Philips 22RN712) - mine's a Blaupunkt and a bit too wide or Radio (Pioneer KP 9300) or Radio (Motorola LT 558) Anyone got any ideas where I might find any/all of the above; either UK or France. Until recently, Mini Cooper Ss have been my passion ... Thanks for any help you may be able to give. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Herc 63 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Anthony, For random second hand bits: - Try http://www.lotusbits.com/, but ring them, don't email. They have tons of broken cars. - Try Tocus on this forum Clocks crop on eBay regularly. In fact most parts crop up on eBay, but sometimes Lotus Bits are cheaper. I bought carpets from SJ Sportcars, but lots of people sell them on ebay too. I have never seen the original boot floor. I think they were card and tended to disintegrate quite quickly. I am also minus the rear washer bag. I have a feeling they were pretty poor in concept and so tend to be junked. Herc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ramjet 1,086 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Welcome to TLF Anthony. Pop over to the Introductions thread and say hi in there as well. Best of luck with sourcing the parts you are after. Also have a look in the Free Classifieds link at the top of the page. May be something in there.

Tocus 212 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 i dont have a radio on spare, and also not carpets, i sold everything, but you can buy new ones on ebay, the boot floor you also can make by your own, its not a big thing, and the phillips radio is very very rare!!! next month i will get new cars for spares so then i got some new bits!

Tocus 212 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thats a good question, pfff i think one good radio is worth 200 euro, (and also good looking) and with dictaphone (some strange thing under the dash) 250 euro, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
