Lotus Elise S2 Type 23 for sale. *SOLD*

Having owned my Lotus since November 2009 the time has come to sell it. I am not getting any real use out of it these days due to changes in family circumstances so I'd like it to go to someone who will be able to enjoy everything that comes with owning such a fantastic car like a Lotus Elise. So, m...

Re: Nearside rear Caliper.......HELP

Appreciate the offer. I’m based about 20 miles North of Dundee. Struggling to find anywhere local that can return so that’s why I’m looking to buy a cheap (ish) second hand one to get it through it’s MOT.

Nearside rear Caliper.......HELP

Hi,


I’m in search of a nearside, rear Caliper for my Lotus Elise S2 Type 23. Does anyone have a spare/second hand one lying around that they are looking to sell? I’m sure the VX220 ones fit as well from memory. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Derek

I'm in Aberdeen if you need it this weekend.
