Bristol Garage for Lotus Elan Hot Running Problem

[cavebloke]

Can anyone recommend a good classic car specialist in Bristol who could help solve a Lotus Elan S4 hot running problem. Might be the Stromberg carbs or the ignition, not sure. Car runs fine when cold but develops a bad misfire when hot.
I’ve searched online but can’t find what I’m looking for.
Cheers,
Simon

M and A Engineers in Brislington should be able to help

Thanks Patrick, is that where you take the Cortina? Someone else recommended Williams in Chipping Sodbury to me, but they seem to stock only moderns.

Anyone got experience of Cleevewood Garage? They seem to stock a lot of different classics.

They do my M.O.T,s. I do tend to look after the Tina myself. Last year I fitted a Power spark distributor which has made a good improvement to overall engine running. I would also check air filter.
