I've had my first Lotus Elise (2002 111S) for almost a year now, after 25 years of waiting to get one. Loved them from the first picture I saw. Did a track day in 2006 in an S1 and swore I'd have one by the time I was 40. Had to wait until I was 45, but much better late than never!

I need to get the timing belt(s) changed and find someone who is good and trustworthy for any future work I get done.

Also, a body shop capable of dealing with the fibre glass would be good. There are a few little jobs I'd like tidying up.

I live just off J35 of the M1, North Sheffield.

Recommendations?

There is a bodyshop in Birdwell

Not seen their work for sometime used to be excellent.

Perhaps worth speaking to Jon Seal in Wakefield. I'm not sure that he does any service or repair work there but he will certainly know where to point you, particularly on the bodywork stuff.

Bit of a trek but make the journey to see Dave and John at Seriously Lotus in Hull.

I wouldn't let anyone else near my Exige.

They’re having an open day 7/4 btw. Hog roast for all comers in a Lotus. Opening the new enlarged and refurbed workshop.

Not any help on bodyshops, however you live quite near me and I wondered if you wanted any photos of your lotus? I'd happily do them for free, cheers

Sorry matey - only just seen your post as I only normally use PH for TVR stuff. You can't get any better than Chris Foulds at Honley https://www.fouldsmotors.co.uk/ or David Underwood at Eckington in Sheffield for Servicing 07974 372223. For Bodywork, Malin Motors at Hillsborough specialise in Fibreglass repairs https://www.malinmotorbodiessheffield.co.uk/body-s...
