While not exactly a "Lotus" book, Westfield - The Story by Paul Robinshaw & Jeremy Bouckley is a very informative pictorial review of Westfield Sportscars, from the Eleven and 23B Replica, through the Seven, SE, SEi and SEiGHT (with Rover V8 power!), ZEi and the latest superbike powered Mega-Busa and Mega-Blade. Westfield is certainly an automobile manufacturer in the spirit of Lotus - low production of lightweight, fun to drive sportscars!

WORKSHOP MANUALS
Lotus owners do not have a wide range of choice when it comes to repair manuals. After all, most of the major publishers of after-market automotive repair books are not interested in the small volume of sales a Lotus manual could generate. Factory Lotus Manuals are the most comprehensive manuals that you can find. Complete specifications, removal and replacement instructions, rebuild procedures, etc. Even if you don't work on your Lotus yourself you should own a workshop manual so that your mechanic has access to the proper procedures and specifications. Workshop manuals are available for Elan, Europa (all), Elan Plus 2, Elite/Éclat, Esprit S1/S2, Esprit Turbo. Please contact us for details and prices.

PARTS MANUALS
Comprehensive parts listings with detailed "blow-up" illustrations. The Parts Manual is a valuable guide to restoration because the restorer can see a picture of what the parts are supposed to look like and how the car was originally built. And the listings of the original Lotus part numbers can make ordering parts much easier. Parts manuals are available for Elan, Europa S1/S2, Europa TwinCam, Elan Plus 2, Elite/Éclat, Esprit S1/S2 and Turbo. Please contact us for details and prices.
