Ok guys,

I'm still very new to this site so hang in there with me. I found a great place to order parts from. Its in the UK, but they are very easy to deal with and reasonable on their prices, although shipping cost can be another matter.

If you already know of this site, could you give some fed back. all of us can use a dependable parts supplier.

Yes, Steve at SJ is great and as far as I know, the only Esprit supplier with a comprehensive online price list. His garage is a bit of a shambles, but he's a fount of knowledge and very dependable. He's an ex-lotus mechanic and probably knows as much as there is to know about fixing them.

But for unless price savings you get on a set of carpets is worthwhile, I'd go with the factory carpets from your Lotus dealer. I don't know how it works in the states, but here in Belgium, as the Lotus dealer gets a weekly shipment of parts for servicing cars, shipment of parts is free, and I get an excuse to go look at the shiney new toys.

anyway, welcome to the forum

Chuck,

SJ is one of the best-known specialists and parts suppliers in the world, and plenty of people in the States buy from them.

On our continent, check out RD Enterprises: www.rdent.com. Give Ray a call, and if he has carpet, ask for details about it and get a quote. He's honest and up front, and his customer service is impeccable.
