Actually it would be very useful to see a concise list - I'm thinking of going this route myself, but am only aware of Boss Motors and Tony Thompson producing shells. Other information would be useful too, such as which S4 replacement shells have the best door fit...

Hi Phil/Nigel
I currently make 26R bodyshells and 3 genuine 26R's currently have my shells fitted.
They include all the added extras as standard.
I also have the ex Christopher Neil Sprint DHC moulds which I am currently refurbing so will be able to offer DHC Sprint and 4 shells soon.
We also supply Elise S1 panels from ex factory moulds and will be manufacturing some Evora parts as well soon.

I am glad the original 26R's heavy and much repaired shells and I presume chassis and other bits are safely stored for posterity while the replicas race using the original ID number. Not quite in the spirit of historic racing but totally understandable given the value of the original these days.

I was at Paul Matty's last Friday, saw a "new" S1/S2 body shell there.
Boss Motors have old body moulds from Lotus - see herehttps://www.192.com/atoz/business/norwich-nr16/glass-fibre-moulding/boss-motors/4a68e3a9-060d-4cc0-b282-748faf6ae938/ugc/

Hi Dave,
They look really good. Didn?t you also used to have a Europa mold?
Thanks.
