Mark B Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Due to being let down by a friend, I am on the lookout for a 60's/70's Lotus Elan (S1 -S4). I want one to restore and modernise (with a zetec engine) as a long term project and will consider anything from a running car to a basket case. If anyone has one that they're thinking of selling, or knows of one would they please let me know by pm, email me at mbaileywscc-ao@hotmail.co.uk or phone 07778 586741. Thanks, Mark.

Keith Scarfe Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Like an nice S3 DHC: Sorry not for sale however. Nice excuse to post picture (again) though Anyway, as you can see ( ) I have one and would be pleased to help if I can. The Zetec is much easier to fit into the +2 rather than the 2 seater but I believe it can be done. You need to start with a Spyder chassis. Do you know all about doing this already? If so I'll shut up. There is a lot of good info on this forum. www.lotuselan.net Cheers. Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Keith, thanks for the info but yes I know what I'm getting into etc, a zetec will fit in a standard chassis but I'd prefer to use the spyder chassis so I can use their driveshaft & suspension systems etc... I saw yours a while ago on your website, looks nice & if you decide to sell please let me know! John, will have a look on splatchat, ta....

RichP Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 You could try Lotus Bits here: Lotus Bits Mike Taylor (owner) is a helpful chap and might be able to point you in the direction of what you want, if he can't sell you something himself. He's also likely to have any bits you need. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark B Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 Cheers Rich, will get in touch with Mike, although it looks like he is mainly into esprits and excels from his website..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
