OT but tech related: Lotus stuff
 

I "refound" a set of 4 Lotus hubcaps and a hardtop (can't be more than 15 lbs a la 904 thin glass) from a 66 Lotus Elan I had years ago. Anyone here knowledgeable in Lotuses? I need to place a price on these and put them up for sale.

Apologies for posting here, it seemed like the most populated board, best chance to find someone.

Here's the worst of the hubcaps after cleaning/polishing.

ELAN?
 

I have been lusting from afar about Elan's. Would a 6ft4 230# person fit in one?

Elan - itis....
 

I owned a 1968/9 Elan (briefly) about 30 years ago. I am 6-1 and could not put the seat all the way back and still reach the pedals! A really neat little car but mine had too many "issues" than I had time back then. I think that I still have an original factory shop manual for the car tucked away somewhere. Everytime I see a Mazada Miata, I think about the Elan from long ago!

I've seen older Lotus parts do pretty good on eBay.

Hey cab, thanks, any ideas on proper reserves.

Also notice that you have a Pantera. Does it still have 15 inch wheels and do you run 245 rubber in the front?

I've got a set of 8x9x15 Fuchs I want to use on my Targa, but there's nothing out there for tires. A Pantera board member suggested I groove some Avon slicks, an idea I like a lot.

Any thoughts? What do you use?

Honestly I have no idea what size my Pantera tires are. It's at the body shop on vacation!...
On the Lotus hubcaps I would think there worth atleast $100.00.
