Chillidoggy Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 It's probably not a Lotus part, looks like a snow plough to me. Did the Empire fit them for use on, say, planet Hoth? If so, it'll be something made by Mattel. Quote Margate Exotics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bibs Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 That's a packing sticker rather than a part number sticker so might not help us in this instance. They're stuck on from the pick sheet as the order is put together.

swindon_alan Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Ok then, let's get rational and assume that the pick list sticker is for the right part - as ordered by Bibs - but they have picked the WRONG item. Hence Sparky's frustration with a red herring flapping around in his hands for years. It must have got a bit smelly by now? So. Was it ordered direct from Lotus, in which case it must be off another model (Europa? Dunno), although Sparky says he has looked. If it was ordered off of a third party dealer then it literally could be anything. @Bibs where did you get it from sir?

swindon_alan Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 @Sparky then it should be off another model then.

Obviously no trouble to pop out to the barn, get the ladders out, cover off, organise lighting, empty the glovebox, take pics, reverse previous actions.
