Where to find parts for a 2001 Lotus Esprit?

Hello, I recently bought a 2001 Lotus Esprit V8 and am having a hard time finding parts online. Does anyone out there have any good recommendations. Specifically looking for an alternator. Thanks!

Not sure where you are but in the UK, first place I look is SJSportscars. They have a reconditioned alternator for £166.

Don't know if that's expensive but it gives you an idea what might be available. They ship outside the UK too. Always have been fast too.

Thanks! I am in Chicago though but I will give them a look.

If it's just an alternator, I'd get it rebuilt locally. Nothing special about it. Should only be about half the price of a new one.

For parts that are Lotus only SJ is a good place to start, though I'm sure there are similar suppliers in the US as well.
