Hi all......yeeeesssss....it's that time of year again and I'm in the process of waking the machine up again! I was wondering if anyone could help out re: service and MOT in this area. I had a quote from a Lotus specialist for 320 pounds for an A service and MOT...! Sounds a lot to me. Anyhow, how important is a "Lotus" service and MOT. She's hardly done any miles last spring/summer and is mechanically sound. Please could anyone advise/help. Or, if someone; (who knows what they're doing) for a reasonable price would like the "cash" let me know.
Hope everyone has a great summer and is able to enjoy this great car!
Kind regards.
Mike.

Esprit Cars

Ask for Kevin. (Kevin is Lotus trained, also a Lotus enthusiast and has owned loads of them over the years)
He's looked after my Elan from the day I bought it, that's over six years ago now.

I too used Esprit Cars when I was working in Manchester/Stockport....
he worked on my cars for about 4~5 years

The Lotus is up and running! Esprit cars was a good choice and Kevin has a lot of time for the customer.
Thanks.
Mike.
