Lotus Elite/Eclat Riviera Bonnet

[Dont Be Foolish]

I realise that this is a very long shot but I was wondering if anyone had an unwanted Riviera bonnet lying around in the garage in between the boxes of hens’ teeth and rocking horse poo! Any help locating one would be greatly appreciated.

Just a quick update...I got very excited when offered a bonnet by John, a very kind member of the Lotus Forums, only to have my hopes dashed when it turned out to be from an Eclat Sprint rather than a Riviera, so I am still looking if anyone can help. On the plus side, John did have a couple of spare bags of rocking horse manure and now my roses have never looked so healthy

I too have been looking for a Riviera bonnet but no joy (and no surprise) however having looked closely at the genuine article I don't it would be too difficult to fabricate a panel which replace the normal 'slats' mimicking the Riviera slots.

Hi Gary,

If you manage to fabricate a Riviera insert panel for your car, I would be very interested in seeing a photo of the result.
