[Bibs]

@AlexBrake would know if Strattons have any available

[Babas89]

Thanks @TheKevlarKid, spécial dimension!

Yes stratton get all the parts I'll contact them

[21gg]

Strattons only had a couple of pairs of fronts last time I asked. The only option is to have some aftermarket ones made.

[Babas89]

OK thanks for this information

GTE #20 now resides at JCT Lotus Leeds.... sad to see it go but I just wasn't using it

Something for the Mrs... we sold her S1 a little while ago!

 

[21gg]

Oh did you now! ? Fair enough.

[Ishy]

She may let me drive it occasionally if I'm good...

Just thought I'd check on the current market for these. I have spotted four for sale in recent months:

No. 11: (white, LHD manual, ex TBD, crash-repaired): EUR 134,900 for sale in Germany

No. 14: (white LHD auto, ex Trevsked, 5700 miles) GBP 112,000 sold by Hoffmans

No. 17: (white LHD auto,  ex adfer, 13000 miles) GBP 95,000 for sale at George MacKay in Scotland 

No. 20: (green LHD auto,  ex Ishy, 1300 miles) GBP 110,890 for sale at JCT600

I don't know what happened to the Stratton "continuation" cars.

[Babas89]

I hope to can give you more news about the Stratton cars very soon ?

As I know they've finish the set-up of the engine and the car will be ready to be sold ?

À funny pics of today ( "a vendre" means for sale in french )

[Babas89]

Any unknow GTE in HongKong 

[TheKevlarKid]

Looks to be a standard Evora wearing GTE panels.

It is still using standard Evora front wishbones. You can tell by how deep the front hubs on the wheels are set back in to the bodywork.

I saw this when I collected my 400, hadn't seen one in the flesh before, it was stunning

[Babas89]

Stratton just post a pics on Facebook of one of there GTE who is not part of the twenty official 

 

I remember that one at the Factory, the color feet well one the car

No 17 (white, LHD, 2+0, auto, 13,000 miles, ex adfer) is now down to GBP 89,995 at the broker in Scotland.

What's going on with the body-colour A pillars on the Stratton car? Is it not finished?

[Babas89]

It look painted like the roof and the side air entrance

[21gg]

That's how it was, my A pillars, roof, side scoops and sale panel are painted as well but its not as noticeable in dark blue. The A pillar trims need to black/carbon on that. I notice its on standard 400 alloys, so presumably they are running spacers on the rear wheels?

 

[Babas89]

You're right, it got standard wishbone and spacer 

[LotusLeftLotusRight]

Isn't that a bit rubbish for a GTE?

[Bravo73]

It’s not a GTE. It’s Stratton’s version (surplus GTE bits on an old Evora body). 

[LotusLeftLotusRight]

Oh I see, I thought it was one of the remaining unconverted GTE chassis left out in the field that Lotus were supposed to break for spares .

[Babas89]

You're right @LotusLeftLotusRight they've got 4 or 5 cars that are not suppossed to still existing 

I still hope to can get one a day who was my favorite GTE when I saw them all at the factory before rebuilt....

Now I'd argue differently.  That is one of the original GTE's, The 20 cars the factory 'reworked' are GT350's from GTE's...

That exact above car is what inspired me to be one of first customers to have the colour 'Pewter' on a V6 cup car.

That cars is also briefly glimpsed in a car TV program from a couple of years ago. Can't remember which one now but you see that GTE in a background shot.
