Lotus Elan M100 S2

[dravidham]

Hi,

I've recently purchased a very nice condition Lotus Elan M100 S2 however I'm a few things missing:-

Workshop manual
Penknife from the boot toolkit

I have contacted a couple of Lotus dealers all of who advise me that the complete toolkit used to be around about the £70.00 incl VAT, but this item was discontinued just over a year ago. I have however managed to find after a lot of phoning around different dealers the tool box and everything inside with the exception of the knife.

With regards to the workshop manual, I do remember reading on the web a long time ago that one of the best manuals available was actually sold on CD Rom by an enthusiast. Does anybody know where I can obtain either of these items?

I hope to hear from some of you.

Regards,

Graham.

The workshop manual is readily available on the net.

Head on over to www.lotuselancentral.com and you should find it.

Just for the record the later "S1's" and all the S2's never had a knife in the toolkit.

M100 & JohnRB,

Thank you both for replying.

I must admit, having never seen a toolkit for these cars, I am only at the mercy of what the Lotus dealer that I last spoke with told me and of course even they can make mistakes I guess

I am at present waiting for the complete/in-complete toolkit to arrive. Obviously the knife is not a part of it from what you've mentioned and that is good news to me, as I want to keep the car as original as possible.

Thanks also for the link to the site with the manual - much appreciated.

All the best, and I hope to catch you both elsewhere on the forums.

Regards,

Graham.

Keep your eyes on ebay at least 2 a week.
