You may have noticed that our inventory has been dwindling in the past months. We have placed orders for nearly everything out of stock, and our suppliers & fabricators are doing their best to fulfil our orders however foreign pandemic lockdowns, limited resources, & international shipping have been a constant hurdle.
As a result, we have stopped taking deposits and orders for many backordered items—this mainly affects our aero composite products and Lotus factory parts. If there is something you need and it’s in-stock, we suggest you buy-it-now. We hope to return to our normal practices & inventory soon.
Our next shipment of aero products should arrive in September. Many items have been pre-sold for months however we have most of our front bumpers and front clam accessories still availabile.
Update: The British £ continues to grow stronger which means the price of imported goods are getting higher, with significant increases in February. We will keep our prices intact for as long as possible but expect potential increases in the coming months. Combined with the pandemic restrictions, importing parts still remain slow. But on the brighter side, Brexit related shipping delays & customs clearance appears to have stabilized with DHL & FedEx.
Our HS Bilstein / Öhlins Shocks are done and finally available but supplies are limited. Utilizing an original Evora shock body, these advanced shocks are a direct replacement and will bring your Evora’s handling to the next level.
Both our Front Track-rods & v.2 Rear Toe-links are back in stock! Give your suspension proper good looks plus the highest quality teflon-lined bearings while making them easier to adjust & tune. Track-addicts will love these as much as your alignment guru.
The cost of Lotus parts may be rising due to the strong British £. We’re also seeing shipping delays during the Brexit transition. We suggest getting your factory Lotus parts now. For more, please read this.

HethelSport returns to Win Ace Bodykits for another visit.
Onpoint Dyno has married an Evora Chassis with a Tesla drivetrain to create one of the baddest Electric Vehicles anywhere. Nearing 911 Turbo benchmarks, this car recently had it’s first racetrack shakedown and was a big out-of-the-box winner! HethelSport sponsored Onpoint Dyno with a Rear Bumper and custom 410 Engine Cover/Tailgate… um… Motor Cover/Tailgate.
