So, after three years the girl is up for sale.
Bought her in April 2011 from a forum member in Blackheath, London as a slightly tweaked 2.2 n/a with a genuine 16,619 miles. Currently she has covered just 26,600 which will move slightly and the car is still in London. Always garaged and covered and has been used as a dry weekend toy only.
Stage 2 Supercharged – conversion by Joe & Lee (January 2012) (read my project thread here) Courtenay Sport (March 2012) mapped to 249.98bhp, 212.58 ftlbs torque (full documentation and dyno read out)
As far as I am aware the car has never been tracked, is HPI clear and is not CAT registered at all.
Two keys and one fob.
Full documentation from Vauxhall, Thorney, Morland Lotus and Back on Track Motorpsort.

Points to note –

My girl has never let me down, never failed to start and not missed a beat in the 3 years I have owned her. She is a well known car to forum members and has not wanted for anything in my ownership. Everyone who has worked on the car in the last three years has always been incredibly complimentary regards the condition and standard of the car.
Car is based in East London.
