Yep - send a PM to fellow member “wishitwas”

Bought mine direct from Lotus, arrived last week.

Without wanting to sound cheeky what sort of price was it Sean?
�400 and something. I can’t remember exactly.
Sean…
Thanks Sean, think I might put that money into another set of Rimstocks and Yokos first!
But you can sell the polycarbonate one for more than �400, which should give you some cash towards the wheels.
Are the standard engine covers really worth �400 second hand???
Probably a bit more than that, I was led to believe that they were between �1200-�1400 new
I think they are in the region of �1.5k new (someone correct me if I’m wrong)so �400+ secondhand sounds right.

They cost around �1200 new, & are as rare as hen’s teeth - so �400 could well be on the low side…
No wonder the original wasn’t in the bag of bits I got aong with Brendan’s car
So given the choice of buying a second set of Rimstocks or a Motorsport engine cover, which would win?

Surely, only you can answer that!!!
PS Don’t forget that a motorsport engine cover will require painting, & fitting (the latter will require some dzus fasteners, even if you use the existing hinge).

But Sean said his cost �400ish direct from Lotus!!!
Bertone
Motorsport engine covers (unpainted etc) cost around �400 plus vat.
OEM perspex covers are around �1200 (plus vat?)

Ok, sorry for my ignorance but is there a great difference and if so what…and how do they differ other than appearence to the standard S1 cover?

Doh!!!
Sorry chaps…ive just reread this thread…now I understand!
The Lotus Motorsport cover that Sean bought was �400ish plus vat unpainted etc!
The standard perspex one currently fitted was about �1200 new but also possibly worth �400 second hand!
I thought you were talking about 2 different types of motorsport covers, sorry!
Phew, thought it was me going mad(der!)
