Hello. I am worryem.
I have 4 old bikes inc. 2 Le Velocettes, and a Lotus Elite Type 14 which has undergone a nutn'bolt restoration. And I still need bits here and there.
If you like, I can do the stage by stage photo Lotus redo, but dont know how. I'm self taught computer thingy.
The Climax etc., and all mechanics done by famous racing mechanic used regularly by Stirling Moss. Paintwork fabulous by local craftsman. Go to work on an egg.
Meanwhile see spares for Elite posted on here but removed. So how do I get to see wot you got ?

Hi worryem,
Welcome to the forum. My first motorised transport was a LE Velocette given to me by a nice old guy who used to race bikes.
I was 15 at the time.
The Elite is a nice machine. My brother in law had one for a few years but the extremely close ratio ZF box made it rather unsuitable for road use. We could never get a decent standing start out of it.

Hi welcome from a fellow Lotus chap!
We need pictures! Im hankering after a Lotus 11...Im never gonna be able to afford one just would love one. Even thinking about a Westfield 11 with the climax engine. My thread is on here about my Turbo Esprit restoration. Chap who works for me has Velocettes. Two Venoms from the 60s a 30s KSS and a Norton/Vellocette special he built him self (Feather bed frame with Venom engine).
Any ways glad to see another Lotus here there are lots of nice people and things here to look at!
