2015 Lotus ASO Parts Sale

[Bazza 907]

I'm after some more parts and emailed the detailes a few weeks ago - Is it possible that it is still being processed or do you think if I've heard nothing it means I'm out of luck and they've all been sold?

Just found this. Must look around the full forums pages more often. 

After the part number and discription I see the letters (SP) now I'm sure there is a really simple answer but what does it stand for? Anyone please.

System PACK?

[C8RKH]

Service Pack maybe?

It means Sale Part.

Hi Bibs,

as I know good things are in the ASO sales usually ..I just have to make some more or less detailed words, or lets say basic questions, first to any order.

Several (engine) parts do have a **** with a 'machined' note, others have a 'cast' note - does it mean some are bare parts, in the middle of the tooling process and not fully finished ?

There is a note 'casting V8 cylinder block'  and the dealer-network notes the number C918E0133K as obsolete, and the number C918E0133P on the ASO list as not existend. Does it mean a bare engine-block, unmachined, with rough flanges, without mainbearing caps and without calibrated drillings is in offer now..?? 

Thing is that 2 years ago I even heared from dealer contact that not even (unmachined) cylinder heads are available anymore. Now there are 41 engine blocks listed, that makes me wonder what it allready is  - as I not have CNC machinery to finish a 'bare engine block' to use as replacement.

Same thing with an unclear number on the list is 'crankshaft' (C918E0019 L & P) - as the parts cataloge notes the replacement part number for a 918 crankshaft as C918E0019F with a 'unknown price'. That brings me to the question what type of crankshaft is this version with the 'P'-index for a interesting price of 135 GBP ?

The note shot peened for crankshaft with the 'L' -index in the ASO list sounds like it has good a surface preparation, to minimise risc of cracks under stress load  ..is this a remained part of the GT1 engine parts ..??

The parts sale is dead, long live the parts sale! 

Due to the huge amount of admin & time this takes I'm not going to be involved at all. Please send any enquiries and order via your local dealer

Good morning merry gents, small query - how are you identifying the parts on the list? Some are obvious but I see some with M70 written in the description and don't know if this was kept as a generic model designation throughout Esprit production or what? X180 would suggest not. Anyway I've tried googling the particular part number but nothing comes up so I've no reference. 

Its Esprit S2 I'm interested in. Have a feeling you'll tell me there's nothing much at all on the list for those!

Thanks, George

@GTK you can cross-reference the parts against the Deroure website which is really good and has pictures. www.deroure.com 

It can take a while, I went through almost the entire list looking for Turbo Esprit parts.

An S2 will most likely have parts beginning #907 or #076 (the hash being a letter, possibly A, B or C). Good luck!

Huge help thanks TAR. I should have noticed the logic in the numbers. The Durore web is a revelation too so I'm indebted to you
