The block bores were inspected and found to be literally as new with no scoring whatsoever, with the OE Pistons also in as new condition.
The valves were replaced which included brand new sodium filled items on the hot side, which was followed by an extremely important modification as follows. The stack item has actually been hard wired directly to the oil pressure warning light on the OE clock arrangement, which has resulted in an absolute full proof monitoring and alert of any issues the engine may suffer with an alarm/buzzer.
Any potential owner needs to take note of the above and consider the work has been done with safety in mind, and thus has been carried out to absolute perfecting results.The oil system houses a set of bespoke exact factory hoses which run between the two-brand new Mocal Oil coolers, these hoses extend to the newly fabricated tubular power steering cooler which is always heavily pitted where it passes in-front of all three radiators.
As with so many items on this car that car the unique 90393-part number, this just cannot be purchased anymore, and I genuinely believe that you won’t find another for sale again, ever! A completely new set of OE spec silicon hoses that pass throughout the engine bay, purchased through the Autobahn stormers club .
All in all, very hard to fault this engine bay in any way at all, you can probably tell I like things to be presented properly and this engine bay is a work of art to complement this car.The car has had a brand new OE petrol tank fitted with a genuine Motorsport 044 Bosch fuel pump fitted which was purchased and checked with factory coded seal to confirm it was a genuine item.
These have been complimented by brand new Bosch O2 sensors, which are nestled under a pair of brand newly built T25 Turbos, which also house 360-degree bearings. The Diff casing was also blasted and zinc primed before being re-painting in silver ahead of fitting. At which stage he painted the calliper housings with a light dusting of silver so as to retain the raw motorsport texture of the alloy.
Please note that Lotus ran the brake line in new copper, which was a “Hand bent” affair but as this was a job by hand at the factory, I decided to leave this in place to ensure authenticity and a slight quirkiness, other areas of “Patina” exist on this car but only in the right places.
HOW MUCH?
is it me or does this look like its black? i thought these were all green? either way its an AMAZING example, and compared to old fords, not silly money (way out of my league though)
What a write up. Beautiful car.
RogueCylon Henry59lewis you having this one
What a machine. I knew someone who had one in the 90s. He pranged it and had to sell his Sierra Cossie to buy a replacement bodyshell. I often wonder if it's still on the road.
