A whole lotta spares

Thanks to Shane, a fellow Elise owner, who delivered his old engine to me today. It's from a 2004 series 2, had head gasket failure and was replaced with a more powerful VVC engine.
I now have a source of spares, especially the rear cam belt cover, plus newer alternator and starter.
There are also a few upgrades that come with a later engine, such as a better heat shield for the exhaust, and one to stop the cam belt cover melting!


I will also fit the later cam cover which says "Lotus Performance", old one has "Elise" but the "16 Valve" lettering is facing in the opposite direction.
