TOPIC: Lotus specialist with parts on The Wirral.

On Sunday at the cars and coffee meeting at Chester castle my Dad was talking to a Lotus Specialist based on the Wirral with lots of X1/9 parts in storage.

The details are:-

You would be more than welcome to post our details on the forum.
We have the following parts which may interest someone.
Most parts are in good condition and worked when car was broken (over 10 years ago) but I cannot confirm that they still work although everything has been in dry storage for that time.

- Rear engine cover (black)
- Rear boot lid
- RH window glass
- LH window glass
- Rear engine vent grill
- Chrome/rubber door window seals LH and RH
- Starter Motor
- Column stalks unit
- Gearbox
- Rear shocks and springs (built)
- Indicator/sidelight assemblies front (one side has very small crack in lens)
- Driveshaft
- 2 x new door handles
- LH Door rear view mirror and glass
- coolant expansion tank

Any reasonable offers considered. The parts will start going on e-bay in a couple of weeks if there is no interest.
We would also consider letting it all go as a job lot.

I can ship most parts but would prefer collection for gearbox and any glass parts (as I wouldn’t be able to guarantee their safe arrival).

Thanks for that, Richard.

What's does the panel think is the going rate for that gearbox? Mine is a bit fragile in 2nd & 3rd and I'm conscious it isn't going to get any better. That said, this box has been sat around in a shed for 10 years and was "fine when it ran last". So it may well be as bad if not worse than mine.

Worth offering him £100 for a punt?

I'd start a lot lower than that. When he spoke to me he said he just wanted to offload them to someone who wanted them.
