fatwomble

After 16 years of Lotus ownership, I’m finding that I’m using it less and less and as we have an forthcoming house move planned, which is likely to leave us slightly lacking in the parking stakes, after deliberating long and hard over the last 7 Months, I think now is the time to sell. 2 owners from new, previous owner for 17 years, the conversion being carried out in 2013. I’ve owned it for 3 years. Full services history (massive wad of receipts), including the Certificate of Conformity Honda conversion by Maidstone Sports Cars in 2013, at 94,634 miles (So yes, it’s a high mileage car, it’s now done 139,150), including a suspension rebuild, at a total cost of £16,829.28 Dyno when engine fitted shows 213 bhp at the wheels.

2000 S1 Lotus Exige 38,000 miles approx (New Stack unit at approx 31,700, so now showing 5853, therefore approx 37,553 miles.) MOT to 13/09/2019 Azure Blue Black leather seats Part Alcantara dash and Alcantara door cards 190 upgrade Bluetooth stereo First registered in Jersey and then brought back and registered in the UK in 2004 Having owned Lotus for 10 years, I finally bit the bullet and bought an S1 Exige in July 2016, my favourite Lotus of all time. I purchased from Snows Lotus, but I knew the previous owner who had part exchanged it for an Evora after 8 / 9 years of ownership. I’ve spent approx £11,000 getting running and handling properly, it had sat in a garage for about 4 years with almost not driving. Work carried out (in approx order): New sill covers late 2016 Momo Team steering wheel (300mm), plus original wheel Yokohama AD08R about 1500 miles of wear New gear linkage kit - Eliseparts - October 2017 Serviced - Analogue Automotive -October 2017 New Fuel pump - Analogue Automotive - December 2017 Eliseparts lightweight 48 litre fuel tank - Analogue Automotive - December 2017 Emerald K6 ECU (original ECU included, but I was told it was faulty) with 3 way map switch Coolant system pressure checked - Sportomotive - September 2018 Head Gasket and head skim - Sportomotive - September 2018 Rings and Bores checked at the same time and given a clean bill of health. - Sportomotive - September 2018 Gearbox rebuild - Sportomotive - September 2018 New Clutch - - September 2018 Serviced - Sportomotive - September 2018 Mapping on 95 Ron - JKM in Portsmouth (massively better than the original ECU and map) - October 2018, switchable no pops and bangs and MOT maps included. New Nitron NTR Fast Road shocks and geo - Back on Track - November 2018 Featured in Evo magazine in March 2009 (copy included in the sale) Stacks of service history 2 sets of original matts, plus grey aftermarket matts. Whilst most sane people would then keep it having done so much work to t and as it’s probably running better than it ever has, things change and I’m back into doing trackdays and sharing a track car with my Son. We have been using his old Mk1 MX5 which I bought off him, as it didn’t feel right to thrash the Exige around track (I did do Brands Hatch in it). The MX5 has been great fun, but it’s sooooo sloooow on the straights that we have decided to get something with a little more power, so both the Exige and MX5 are going to be sold and replace with one car (probably a VX220). Selling at a sensible price for an original Exige. All the VHPD engined cars are £41,500 - 57,500 on Pistonheads. The bodywork isn’t perfect with some cracks and scruffs, reflecting its age, but overall it looks nice enough. I’m pricing it at a bargain basement take it or leave it price of £36,995 because I want it to sell and don’t want to have to spend ages dealing with people making silly offers.
