Guest Breadvan72 Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Get a black and gold Lotus for a oner! [Not any more] Well, maybe - it's actually a flash git watch. See here -http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lotus-Type-1-Watch-/121938237229? Supernaut, saucedoctor, garethj and 1 other 4
xtriple Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Wonder who made that? I do like a nice watch. Wonder if it's as reliable as the cars? Can you not go and get a new battery installed? Any jeweller should be able to do it and it would sell an awful lot easier if it was working. Of course, it may be a real rarity that Lotus aficionados drool over and there will be people bidding madly regardless. Best of luck with the sale.
Guest Breadvan72 Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 I will go and get a battery when I CBA! I have amended the advert to say new battery before watch sold.
Christine Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 That's like.. Make your car handle like a Lotus for only 5 quid Fat_Pirate and SamR380 2
saucedoctor Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 The watch is exactly the same as a Ford RS one my pal has. A solid thing, a ton is a good price.
djimbob Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 I have a Lotus glasses case, but no trace of the actual bins, also a Jaguar case with the old glasses are kicking around probably as my prescription has been the same for a few years, and I only upgrade due to scratches and so on. None of them were much different from other brands, but I like my cars so that's what sealed the deals
Guest Lord Sward Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Marinatastic! Are you sure thats Marina? I'm not. Definitely Landcrab, Maxi, Sherpa, et all, but Marina?
Guest Lord Sward Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Or you could argue, an Aston Martin door handle...... Aston Martin and Christine 2
Guest Breadvan72 Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Are you sure thats Marina? I'm not. Definitely Landcrab, Maxi, Sherpa, et all, but Marina? Totes Marina interior too. Also used in Lotus Elan and Europa and so on.
Stroller133 Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Handles not used on later Marinas, possible when they changed to the curved dash - the one facing away from the driver! They were used in Robin Reliants* too! * sometimes mistakenly called Reliant Robins on beige themed car forums! Tamworthbay 1
Christine Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Or you could argue, an Aston Martin door handle......You're kidding?
HH-R Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 You're kidding?So good, they had to keep making 'em.
Guest Lord Sward Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 You're kidding? Son, I only kid on MacDroitwich. I take this place very seriously when I furnish it with my P.K. DBS until V8 prior to Virage if you must know.
Christine Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Blimey ! I went in an Elcat once, that had Marina exterior handles Sorry OP for going off topic !
Guest Breadvan72 Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 The interior handles were called "remote control" locks. This meant that you used them to lock your keys in the car. The Marina exterior handles were used by the Lotus Elite, Eclat, Excel and Esprit.
inconsistant Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 I would be v impressed if the drawer that it's sat unworn in has a Marina door handle.
Tamworthbay Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 You have also missed the elite specialist only true sports car they were also used on - the MGB GT (and presumably the MGB as well)
Guest Breadvan72 Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 I would be v impressed if the drawer that it's sat unworn in has a Marina door handle. I do actually have a box of Marina door handles somewhere in my shed.
Guest Breadvan72 Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Wonder who made that? ... Some bunch of jokers called Time UK, apparently. The watch was allegedly designed by some slaphead dude at Lotus.
inconsistant Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 I do actually have a box of Marina door handles somewhere in my shed. You have received a Friend Request from Inconsistant.
Guest Breadvan72 Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 I will look for the box, but fook knows where it is.
