lol

I´ve been told that lotus, used to use several others manufactures components to save on £££...

Last saturday, at Braga track day, there was parked one like these, in red. That´s when Rasteirinho told me that, and I went check it out. They're 100% real, you can read toyota there.

Thumbs up!

Yup, Toyota and Lotus did a lot of work together in those days Smile

You all know that the MR2 MK1 was originally meant to be produced by Lotus?

First elises were delivered with a Rover K-engine. However with the Rover engine was already pushed too far to the limit and Lotus wanted more, so from the second series onward they used the 2ZZ-GE engine. Smile

Back on topic: I once found a UK website of Esprit owners saying they should source those lights from the AE86 since those cars were nothing special anyway. Rustbuckets good for one thing: sourcing rear lights for the Esprit. Wink
