The Elan is looking nice. Hope we will see it at the Buckles when the weather is a bit better.

John,
The only place I would take it to is http://www.amacengineering.co.uk/
I know he's got the knowledge and kit to make a good job. I have no idea of prices but EuropaTC on here has recently had an engine done so he may be able to help with info.
Don't just take it to any old engine recon place ...

Dave,
Keep up the good work it's coming along well.
Cheers
John

Graham,
You need to log on to lotuselan.net and ask the same question, I'm sure there is someone on there who can help. Or contact the factory where the archivist, Andy Graham can help you, I think his email is [email protected].
Cheers
John

Jimmy,
As far as I am aware there is nobody in the club with a running Europa and I don't know anyone with one, Renault or TC.

Jimmy,
The DVLA indicates that the tax ran out in 1986. It has never been registered as a "historic vehicle".

Martin,
Burton's and QED sell them for a twink. If you've now got a front bowl I would have thought they would have fitted even if the sump is a little narrower.
Edit, well I assume you need a push in pickup pipe.
Cheers
John

Martin,
You buy a pickup pipe but obviously this is a low budget build.
I'm pleased you're nearly there.

John

Martin,
Just seen this on ebay, not cheap though.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MK1-Cortina-A ... 339387acef" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Martin,
Arr I see. Can't the sump be cut and shut to make it a front bowl? You'll also need the oil pickup to go with the sump.
The manifold will only need and bit of modding.
Cheers
John

Martin,
I think the push rod engines have a smaller bowl but obviously they can be modified.
Have you tried lotuselandotnet?
Cheers
John

Dave,
It's coming on. Nice to see the progress.

Al,
Some of us are going to the HSCC meet (4,5 & 6th May) and SJW did post a two for one offer for those wanting to go. I'm going on the Saturday. We are having a NYLOC parking spot.
