Thumbs up

Hello all

Since the sun is out, I’ll pop this up again to gauge interest, otherwise it’ll stay in storage until it’s properly warm outside and I’ll sell it then.

The car is a late 98 S Reg in Titanium metallic (best colour by far )
41k miles
Full Lotus main dealer service history from new
1 previous owner









Mods and extras –

Exterior:
Driving spot-lamps (very powerful, come on with main beam)
Interior:
Full leather
Alloy window winders and passenger foot rest
Good CD/Radio (a bloody expensive extra in an Elise…)

Performance:
Lotus Sports Exhaust (retaining Cat)
K&N Induction Kit

Other info:
The car had new rear shocks, new tyres and new brakes at the last service
It will have a major service and new MOT/Tax before sale
It is in immaculate condition and is one of the best you’ll see. I looked at loads before I bought this, and this drove like new compared with cars of half the mileage that were ropey as hell.

Price: £13,650 ono (this will go up as we get closer to summer )

PX: I will consider a Jap-import WRX or STi in part exchange, and perhaps a well-modded UK car. Anything else of interest, let me know what ya got, you never know…

well and truly toasted the brakes yesterday at Oulton.

Absoloutely flying now with the coilovers.

I got some four pots, for the front, of a mate of mine, but the pads must have been Uniparts finest. Massive fade after three laps, and i'm not a particularly aggressive braker.
Anyway, the net result was i cooked the rears and had to take an early shower

You can pick a hard top up for £700 plus you may need to get it painted.

A soft top is around £250 - excluding the bars

sorry all, been neglecting this a bit

I will get some better pics up, but unfortunately it will take a couple of weeks as I am nowhere near the car at the moment (this can be changed if anyone has an interesting deal....

The car is stored in East Hertfordshire, near Bishop's Stortford, but I am in Nottingham at the moment.

NDT, can you mail me some more details and pics if possible?

Keep em coming lads

Thanks

Mike
