Trevor,
This extinguisher in Merlot, what type? A B C ? Or CO2 only?
By the way, you had done a great deal of polishing for that first meeting. Impressive...

Good to see Merlot has awoken from winter hibernation! and looking as good as ever.

I think I need to ask what happened?

[JonJon]

Trevor,
What did you do mate
repair looks good though.

[TrevorB]

Hope that answers your questions

I did the exact same thing in my garage, just in case I did that

Are you coming to Brands Hatch Trevor?

Today we were at The Kent Classic Car Show with probably another 500 cars. Surprisingly the only Lotus's there
was a Lotus Cortina and 'Merlot'. We ended up between an Austin Eight and rather large American Oldsmobile eightyeight.
This could well be the last show for 2014 as we are not booked in for anything else.
Anyway here are some photo's

Nice and shiny

Surprised you don't have clear side repeaters to go with the clear front ones. It makes the car look more contemporary IMO and they are a very cheap addition - well, compared to the front ones anyway

Hi Trevor,

Not sure if I am missing an in-joke or not, but just in case....

Try here....

Or if you want to be a snob, you can fit MGF ones.....

..... or if you want to be an off-roader, Land Rover Discovery....

(They're all the same part - standard Leyland lens unit!!!)

[lotustonybassplayer]

got mine of ebay and fitted them straight away they came with the bulbs aswell they do look much better than the old ones, mind you they were in very poor condition, the old ones were held in by what seemed to be a whole tube of silicon sealant and i have even done the fuel flap release trevor
