Hi, I thought you had sold the Evora? Or is it another one? edit: oh it's a 2010 one indeed! (Nice!)

Unless I am wrong the S4s did have larger wheel wells (same or different from the S300 I don't know) and it was finally commonized on the late S4 (and obviously the V8 retained them too) I can't remember the Sport 300 alloys width but it indeed had larger tyres even on the front axle (245/315 vs 235/285) I didn't know that. Interesting.

No reference to the toolkit though.

@Fredrik Larsson >Sadly, it isn't. I reckon you will be banned in a moment. (seriously, how does the narrow front wheel wells accommodate the larger wheels? I think @Jacques already told me it fits, but it's strange they still had to enlarge them on the S300/S4s-lateS4/V8 shells. Maybe it only rubs when cornering very hard)

@BibsFor some reasons I tried to contact @Gjk from lotusforsale and my message wouldn't be sent, is it just on my side? (I had to resolve successfully like 10 captcha before it concluded I am a human indeed, then it failed to send the message)

Happy Birthday to you @williamtherebel!

Ohh! ❤️

Yes as far as I know central locking was standard, and later they introduced a remote control on the V8 (and possibly the GT3?)

I didn't know the engine was signed?! Was it specific to the Final Edition?

Neat! (sorry about the off topic though, you are right^^)

Do you have the original signed owner manual? ^^

Stunning............. Elan in the background! 🥰 (and the Evija is not that bad either)

Hi Jacques! He has added it too after the initial analysis though? As for the U section bolted between the springs upper cups, I would be wary about using a bigger one. It can't be worse in rigidity, but is it any useful, I don't know. Generally speaking, a lot of people are very happy with their "uprated" things just because it's bigger. Uprated ARB (aka stiffer), stiffer springs, harder shocks, and so on. But often it's not based on anything proven. I mean, some people install stiffeners bars between the M100 rear upper spring cups in the boot. Some basic knowledge about the M100 chassis structure is enough to assume it's totally pointless. So, as for the bigger U bar in the Esprit, I certainly would not trust anyone pretending it's useful without a serious analysis like the youtube video guy "Jon Himself" has made.

Talking about engine movement, is there enough slack to accommodate the engine displacement relative to the air box in the side wall?

You beat me to it @jonwat. Indeed, £100 is expensive for what it is already, but 200+ is pretty ridiculous imo.

Same. Personally I would keep the parts in a box if I were going to replace it. I hope it's not binned.

Yes I was not referring specifically to the chassis, but some bits of GMA cars could be nice (like, I don't know, the Cosworth engine for instance :D) (I didn't know about the i-stream platform, thanks!)

A GMA / Lotus collaboration would be nice too!

I think it was about £26000 an hour or two before the deadline. But that doesn't mean it didn't reach a couple millions after this and that it was still not enough, obviously.

"It rides on the correct three-piece split-rim O. Z Racing wheels" cough cough (but otherwise and apart from the leather colouring, it look like an interesting car)

This one? https://bendsandcurves.com/2023/02/02/pre-registration-for-lotus-heritage-tour-and-lotus75/
