Lotus Elan Tool Kits

Postby 2speed73 » Thu 30.09.2010, 17:42

I'm searching for an original tool kit+box.

See here

Could anyone give me some more information on the tool kits which came with the car.

Thanks

these as you probably know are a rare find
strange why that should be , as every car had one !
if i were you i would look on ebay and ask those that are breaking cars if they still have them in the boot,
you could try douglas valley breakers , they have had quite a few elans in the past.

or hope that someone reads this and offers you one,
unfortunatly its not me.

good luck

Sorry I can't help you with trying to source one, but which type would you be after?

If it's the left hand tool kit it shares a commonality with the Esprit, you could try the LEF (Lotus forums) if you have no luck here.

if you are going down the original tools then you will need the key ring aerial removal tool too.!

Please remember that I've forgotten more than these guys will ever know about Elan ownership (and more specifically tool kits)... there is in fact a third variant (which, funnily enough I have) it's the 'covered in rust through sitting for years in water'! variant.
