Previous owner had this Lotus for a number of years, since I purchased it , have used it regularly and enjoy driving it.
It starts on the button every time, gears select as they should and it stops with enough force to throw you through the windscreen, acceleration is still breath taking and it boosts up with a beautiful note.
The following were replaced in previous owner's time:
Fuel tanks replaced.
Balance pipe plus all fuel pipes replaced.
Fuel pump and filter replaced.
Engine and gearbox mounts replaced
Reverse gear cable replaced
Gear selector joints all replaced and re bushed.
Exhaust mountings replaced.
Had New carpets set and headlining.
All electrics work as they should, it has electric windows & even the electric side mirror adjustments.
The only thing that has stopped working again is the speedo, there is a clip on the cable at the back of the speedo which has come loose.
There are 2 small cracks in the windscreen bottom corners, obviously have been there for a long time and had not effected the MOT, I've shown them in the photos.
Engine runs sweet with good oil pressure, cooling works well with electric fans come on, on thermostat or manual.
The car comes with a huge history file. Including a timeline of servicing, Cambelt changed at 105,000 by SJ Sportscars.
Fortune spent on this Lotus with all receipts.
The chassis is rock solid with no rust, the lotus spent a lot of its life in France and the drier climate has preserved the chassis and all electrical connections. Mileage is 107,700 which can be validated with every MOT i think it ever had!
The Lotus appears to of had a respray back in 1998, paint still shines, obviously not prestine.
There is no evidence of any accident damage anywhere, the doors have not dropped and shut with excellent gaps.
Radio CD charger all work, so does heating, even the windows go up and down at speed.
The Turbo wheels look great and the tyres are near new.The spare wheel was powder coated recently.
Two sets of Keys come with the Lotus.
I've been using this Lotus regularly and it behaves impeccably, putting a huge smile on my face, unfortunately it must go to make way for my other project.
Please feel free to come and view the car and come for a ride.
Mileage is 107,700 which can be validated with every MOT i think it ever had! (The car is registered as a Heritage vehicle, hence no MOT required)
