rejected original guts from esprit

[teigan]

i've got a garage corner full of lotus factory parts that didn't meet my minimum standards. these include rare items like the plastic wheel hub covers and sun visors. i'm never going to use them, and they are undamaged. too much to list individually, but please message me if you are searching for something in particular. some parts have limited life left in them, like the brake rotors, but i do have them if someone needs emergency parts to get by on. i'd like to sell off this entire pile, to make room for some heavy machinery i inherited from work. thanks.

Hi Teigan, haven't heard from you in a while.

I suspect you will get a lot more interest if you DO post a list. I would read it and see if I needed anything and get back to you.
Otherwise, i fear, this post will simply slip into the ether never to be seen again.
Pictures would be even better.
Its all about advertising...

All the best

thanks for the advice. you are right that i haven't put any effort in. fortunately, i have received enough inquirys to know what this stuff is really worth. based on the prices the popular used lotus parts outlets were charging, i had a distorted view of actual value of these extinct parts. people are offering me under 10% of what the part-out dealers have listed online. for that level of reward, it isn't worth any more effort.

here's a partial list from memory, should you personally have any interest:

sun visors
assorted lotus emblems
wheel center caps
heater control cover
heater control knobs
side marker lamp assemblies (north america cars)
handbrake lever rubber grip
02 pump
charcoal system for fuel tanks
front brake rotors
rear brake rotors
front calipers
rear calipers
front conical springs(driver side spring is shorter, but may balance if you drive on other side)
girling clutch master
radio antennae assembly.

Hi there,
I've just rejoined this forum after many months - I'm now aiming to have my S3 back on the road by the weekend (after quite a few years!).
I'm looking for the radio antena but most of all a near side fuel tank! I'm running with just the O/S at the moment and my plan is to compete in a rally in Spain at the end of the month and one tank will not get me round! Do you have one by any chance?

[teigan]

no tanks. mine are still in place. why don't you have polyethylene ones made, or use a premade one which is smaller than the available space. it'll last longer, and you'll get shed a little weight.

Hi there, I would be interested in the following please:

sun visors (mine are in bad shape, are yours light grey?)

wheel centre caps (are these the lotus badge ones that are cylinders and slot in to the OZ wheels?)

heater control cover (is this the bit that has "Esprit" backlit?)

Cheers!

Richard

sun visors are tan and black. wheel centers are for BBS not OZ. the heater panel may be the same. sorry. i'm not too familiar with newer model esprits.
