BigErch 20 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 I need to replace the bushes on the rear top wishbone of my GTE. I know the wishbones are specific to the gte but will the standard Evora bushes fit and where's the best place to get them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
21gg 399 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 The other Gav will know better but I'm sure the rear wishbones are standard items, just the fronts that are gte specific. Aren't the bushes part of the wishbone so not sold separately. Gav Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheKevlarKid 581 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Spotted out in the wild... Hmmm, won't let me attach pictures anymore?? @Bibs @BigErchstd evora wishbones on the rear. Junks has probably got some new ones on the shelf. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, there's only so much space we can offer free accounts, storage is the expensive part of the internet. We give FFM accounts 3GB (thanks @Lotusfab!) vs 50MB for free accounts so 60x more attachment space for what is £2/month. 1 1 Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

Everything is original, seats, interior etc. Starting to get excited, just need to check the warranty fine print and negotitate price/trade in? Did this ever lead to anything? Have any of the Stratton cars been sold yet? Just curious why we haven't heard anything all summer. People thought we were odd buying them "new" at 3 years-old. They're now getting on for 7 years-old. Edited August 8, 2018 by LotusLeftLotusRight Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LotusLeftLotusRight 1,227 Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Along with the 4 official Lotus Motorsport prepared GTEs I saw at Hethel on Saturday (build numbers 2, 4, 8 & 10), this Stratton car also appeared. It had a rather weather-worn c/f rear wing and what appeared to be a fibre-glass front lip. It also doesn't have the shark gills access hatch of the Lotus Motorsport prepared cars. There were no visible number plates on the car, just Stratton plates, so perhaps it's still not registered? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bingoking 265 Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I saw that skulking behind the toilet block and thought it looked rather shabby. Has Stratton built many and are they sold? Sorry I didn’t see your car or meet you but saw No’s 2 and 10 and spoke to Gavin @21gg andArchie @BigErch it was a fantastic day but just a pity there wasn’t a GTE in the “one of every model” line up, maybe next year.

BigErch 20 Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) It was a good weekend, great to see the 4 GTE's and lots of other stunning models. Maybe we should have a group stand if it goes ahead next year? Edited October 1, 2018 by BigErch added video link 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheKevlarKid 581 Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 So who was it I spotted just after 4pm today traveling up the A697 Coldstream road? You were just coming out of Powburn heading north. I was heading the other way and got a glimpse of you in amongst the line of traffic... @bingoking?? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bingoking 265 Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Yes, that would be me heading back home after a couple of days in London after the 70th Anniversary at Hethel. A great run up the A697. 1 Quote Join Lotus Enthusiasts Group Scotland here! and on Facebook Link to post Share on other sites
