It must be true, Ed and I agree on almost nothing. :lol:

The Holden Gemini starter fits a Mini engine with a little bit of filing of the mounting holes and it is a constant mesh type so it works on the opposite side of the ring gear to the bendix type. It also has the solenoid attached. It's a common mod for the Mini guys to switch to these.

The original Lucas Mini starter is exactly the same as the Lotus one so that should mean that a Gemini starter could fit the Lotus. I intend to fit one when my current starter fails.
