To prevent problems with the original plastic dipstick fracturing and ending up in the sump, potentially wrecking the engine, I designed and tested these plugs, the idea being that you fit this in place of the plastic stick, (which you keep on board for checking the oil level) then run at whatever revs. without any worries! As a bonus it adds a bit of bling to the engine bay! They're fitted with 3 viton 'O' rings, the handle being secured with a titanium screw. Delivery is to U/K only

One set of genuine Lotus Victory alloy wheels from a year 2000 Sport 160 Elise S1, these are staggered sizes/widths in 15" fronts and 16" rears in standard 95.25 PCD fitment.  The wheels are totally unmarked and 'like new' as they have just been fully refurbished this week by City Wheels of Birmingham. They come complete with correct decal Lotus stickers and green/yellow centre caps.

I can only see one other set for sale at the moment and they are over £2k.

Brand new genuine Lotus badge.

Used as a nose badge on the models in the title, as well as on the rear number plate plinth on the ‘96-‘04 Esprit.

These are £347 from Lotus.

The price includes Royal Mail Tracked 48 postage within the UK, although I’m happy to post worldwide at additional cost.

2 Owners from new

I’ve owned my Elise since June 2013, buying it from her first owner after a long search to find one in perfect mechanical condition and with a good service history.  Unfortunately I just haven’t used it as much as I’d hoped, covering only 2,500 miles in 12 years, and only 300 miles in the last 5 years.  I keep hoping I’ll have the time, but have to recognise I won’t, and it sits forlorn in the garage.  I was lucky to get a Civic Type R allocation at the start of 2023, and that has been the fun car of choice (3 kids mean that back seats are important…), so the Elise is just never driven.

Completely original apart from the Bell & Colvill Sports Exhaust and the EPTuning Carbon Air intake.  She had all the extra boxes ticked when new - metallic paint, leather seats, stereo system, driving lamps, luggage nets, carpets.

The perfect project Elise in a very honest condition - I haven’t prepped the car for sale beyond a simple wash and vacuu…

Leather covered side sills, with blue stitching, from my S2, very good condition, selling them as I've replaced them with some carbon ones. Also included with them are a matching gear lever and handbrake gator with the blue stitching, which i never got around to fitting. I've now been asked how much to collect them, rather than having them delivered, and the answer I said was £110 as it saves the hassle of boxing them up and taking them to the Post office or Evri depot.

I am sure some on this group will know me, Andrew Goater, regarding PG1 gearbox building. Over the last 10 or more years, I have supplied numerous B4BP close ratio gearboxes for Lotus cars on this group.

For racing the B4BP is too long gears. In a similar way that Lotus have their own UCR gear in the 340R cars, I have had custom made a 3 gear (6 sprocket) kit which uses the original C ratio gears 1 and 2 but a very close ratio 3, 4 and 5. The intention is you only use 1st gear off the line and 2 to 5 are very close. It fits a C6BP 3.9 final drive box and on 16" wheels gives a top speed of 125mph. If you use bigger wheels or your engine revs more than 7500rpm a 4.2 final drive can be used.

The gears are helical and are the same tooth design as the original gears. So, unlike using straight cut, these are quiet.

3rd, 1.47. 4th, 1.222, 5th, 1.034.

At 70mph (113kph) the rpm's are at 4500 in top gear. This does mean it's very fast to accelerate at this …
