Hello From Leicestershire

Hi and welcome too! It's been a few years now but the Hawk owners had a batch made in Italy that fit both the Hawk and the original. Can't comment on the LB fitment as nobody has tried them yet. We needed a fair few orders to make it a viable project and I think we ended up with 20 - 25 sets being ordered and a price of £250 or so delivered if I remember correctly, all to order with no excess spares....

The issue for LB is that there are relatively fewer owners out there (at the moment but numbers are rising!) making the chances of putting together a group buy lower and a price higher. Unfortunately the glass is handed. We had price options dependant on quantity and, in the end, went with some fairly cheap tooling that was guaranteed to produce enough sets before it was worn out. For various reasons I doubt we'd be able to do another run now. If you want to know more PM only!

Good luck with the (eventual) build and welcome to the fold!

Cheers

Guy

Hi Leigh, welcome to the forum.

Where in Leicestershire are you? Im currently building a ListerBell fitted with a 3.0 Alfa engine. Build is just about a rolling chassis, if you're not too far away you're more than welcome to pop round and have a look.

Im also a one time Elise owner so would be interested to see your 340r..

Cheers Nick

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Guy - the tooling made for the Lotus screens has produced 3 runs (75) screens now I think and as far as I know will keep on going as it's made from steel. I presume they would do the same thing with the side windows if they tooled up for them. I understand what you say about different cars through - I guess with kits things will be slightly different for different suppliers and therefore windows might not be a 'universal' fit.

Nick - I'm near Ashby de la Zouch. Would love to see your build and get a bit of insight. It might scare me off doing it, or could well spur me into taking the plunge!

Im in Kegworth so not far from Ashby. More than welcome to pop round, if you're serious about doing a build I'm sure it won't put you off!
Drop me a PM and we can sort something out.
Cheers

Cheers, will drop you a message later.

Need to get the 340R MOTed if I'm going to bring that round!
