I'm have just started to restore a 1979 Elite 501. I don't have silly money to spend but need many parts. Is anybody breaking one or know where I can get good value parts etc.
Cheers

Have you tried PNM Engineering on the Wirral, tel 0151 630 6101. They specialise in Lotus including the older models. I know its a long way from Kent but Pete is very knowledgeable, and he carries a lot of spares, so its worth giving him a ring and maybe he will be able to help.
Regards
Don

Mike Taylor & the team break cars, refurb and remanufacture a lot of parts.

Steve at SJ Sports is another useful source of parts and info.

I have an Eclat, BTW. A thread here or in classics about your Elite would be fun.

Anyone have a Elite wheel going begging? It would appear alone with everything else my spare has a crack in it!
