If you can’t find any off the shelf I’m pretty sure these guys could make you some.

[200Plus Club]

Just join the SLOC club on FB they sell perfect sets to members

[aeropilot]

Yep, as said join SLOC, and get a set from the club. Surprised any owner is not a SLOC member by now!

[Jez Cork]

Thanks for the advice and I'll join the club
The car is new to me

Is this the one that was at H and H last week? I had a bit of a look around it, but didn't pay it much attention.

Hmmm......they look like real Minilites as well.....new alloy versions or original/new magnesium ones?

Shame about the red cam covers, but quite a few people fitted those over the years for extra underbonnet bling.

You may find when you join the club, you might find the car is already known to the club.
Very few surviving cars haven't been registered with the club at some point during the past 30 years.

[Jez Cork]

Alloy miniites and yes it's a club car looking at all the paperwork

Looks tidy , congratulations from a fellow owner. The SLOC ones are officially licensed from Lotus to use the badge and are top quality. Well worth joining and getting them there.
I don't actually mind the red covers but my car is blue so might not look as good. I've just had my engine rebuild and went for the original black crackle finish.

Nice, well done. Is it modded as to me it looks like it is

[Hol]

I saw that for sale.

Good purchase.

[sideways man]

I used the club stripes on mine, after a bottom re spray. No issues at all.
Great cars, wish I’d never sold mine.
Does yours have a LSD, if there’s one mod to fit above all others it’s that.

There is a Dyno sheet showing 195 at the wheels

That's an expensive engine then to get that sort of rwp.

Who built the engine?

[Jez Cork]

The car was built by Mellors Elliot
