Sparky 2,834 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Part no. A082V7835K. Many moons ago, Bibs gave me this when I needed one for my 1989 carb turbo. However, here was no way it was going in there! It appeared entirely the wrong shape. I consigned it to a dusty corner and forgot about it. Found it again the other day and did a bit of nosing around, but I'm none the wiser as info seems to conflict. So, what does this fit?

Barrykearley 6,856 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 If that were to fit an S3 - then feel free to sell it to an ex v8 owner. a fool and his money and all that Quote Only here once Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky 2,834 Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 But Steve's site also says it fits a Stevens. Maybe I was having a bad day (it was several years ago and I'm having a stem cell moment), but as I recall there was no way that was going into mine. I'd ask for an insitu photo, but where would I find a bonkers S3 owner at this hour? Quote British Fart to Florida, Nude to New York, Dunce to Denmark, Numpty to Newfoundland.

eeyoreish 877 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 I had the glovebox inner out of mine when I did the interior refurb and it didn't look like that. There is no front 'bar' (the part with the 2 rectangular holes) and at the back there was a narrow top panel. Pretty sure it's not from a Stevens then... Quote Not worth starting anything now...

swindon_alan 1,693 Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 It fits a pre-1988 Turbo, Sparky. Which is why it wouldn't go in your '89. HTH Quote I tempted fate...now my Esprit V8 IS in bits...(sob) Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky 2,834 Posted January 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Yeah, yeah, I've already been there! So, early Stevens? G cars? It's all rather ambiguous.

swindon_alan 1,693 Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I getcha. The part numbers for the LHD and RHD drive glovebox inners are different in the official parts manual, but this one is to be found in several places and they point to the pre-'88 Turbo: http://www.thelotuscentreonline.co.uk/Inner-Glovebox But then I have found a link to SJ and it also features in their 1988 to 1992 price list? https://www.sjsportscars.co.uk/files/lotus-esprit1988to1992-price-list.pdf Ah, it is in the '88 to '92 Lotus parts manual (as a J suffix, presumably the K is a detail change)? I wonder why it wouldn't go in yours then? Perhaps it has the wrong part number on it. Let me check all the models and pics...

Gold FFM johnpwalsh 1,332 Posted January 23, 2017 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Yep, the guy who has just posted a pic of some rotted out rear bulkhead no sign of woodworm yet, but then he maybe hasn't sat in it long enough yet to infest the cabin. Get a price for sticking it in a jiffy bag or something similar and let me know the postage. If you have one, pm me with Paypal details and I will get you paid pronto.
