Belgium - 1991 M100

Postby Mcgyver » Sun 22.11.2020, 09:50

Hi all,

I owm my M100 since beginning of this crazy year. I'm located in Belgium, purchased the car in the Netherlands from someone who imported the car from Canada and had it sitting outside without driving for about 1 year.

The car is a 1991, Fed car. At time of purchase it had about 59500 miles.

In the meantime I have carried out the necessary maintenance, changed all belts, waterpump, repaired head light motors and so on.

The car drives excellent. It got a few paint cracks because of standing outside at previous owner but I wanted first to get to know the car well and enjoy the car. I try to do a trip at least once a week te keep it in shape and something tells me the car likes it :D

I still have 2 minor issues but I will post these in separate threads.

1 about the SIR light
1 about the AC which needs to be refilled.

This forum was THE guide for me to get to know all aspects of this special car.

The reason I bought this car was the history of the car and the stories of the owners. (And the Wheeler dealer episode dedicated to this car)

I will continue to read this forum with great pleasure.

Welcome!

Your car looks good.

One really positive thing to be aware of is that Lotus still have some LHD and Fed spec parts on what is known as the "aftersales" list -I'm thinking in particular the condenser for your a/c system if you need one .... or even if you don't, at £38 you can't afford not to buy one!

looks like the LGM tail light upgrade also very nice. Read up on the AC fixes there was a product called Red Tek that i believe was used and
ok for R-12 and 134 systems. Others may know better.
Steve, the Red ones are faster.

Welkom hier!

Ik had het de verkoper ook al gevraagd:
Als je de afdekkap voor het dak wilt ruilen voor een OEM versie, neem even contact op :-) Ik zoek namelijk deze afdekkap omdat ik bezig ben met een conversie naar rolbeugel, en daar hoort hij bij :-)

Welcome aboard and hope to see you on an event when this damned C19 is history....
