Looks good Clemo

I'm sure I recognise that no plate. Maybe from Donington days or possibly Silverstone Classics the last few years (CL. Lotus stand ??)

That is a nice looking motor and as owner says this is very standard so does tick a lot of boxes, seems to be priced sensibly as well, can't see that hanging around for long

Outrigger problems.............getting concerned now, if even a car that has been garaged last 10 years has succumbed to the dreaded tin rot then what hope is there for the other ones ?!

Outrigger issues are a worry, however I know Neil (Enright) bought a Blue car recently and when he checked the outriggers were in great condition so not all suffer from this fateful condition. I have sent a link on your other post to a specific topic which shows the good the bad and the ulgy.

keep searching Simon, once you find one and drive it you will learn to love it

Found it. GM was after an S2. But he's also on the look out for good, low mileage SEs or S2's

Good Evening to anyone looking in.

I'm the owner of the White Lotus which will be back with me on Thurs or Fri this week. Chris Foulds inspected it and there was no rot - just a small area round one of the standard sill holes next to the drivers seat and a small amount of surface rust further forward on the o/s where the floor meets the sill. For good order I'm having metal pieced in and welded along both sides for the full length of the sill. That should fix it for a very long time. There will be photos of the pre and post floorpan. If anyone's interested, the car will be available to view from Saturday near Brighouse, West Yorks. Just let me know. Clemo said put the info on Lotus Elan Central for a week and then Pistonheads if necessary. I'm happy to answer any questions and can email photos and a complete list of work done in the 9 1/2 years I've owned it. Thanks, Dave
