BE QUICK - car breaks to rolling chassis and goes to Europe next week if I don't get any offers complete!

 

-----------------------

 

[font="verdana, geneva;font-size:small;color:rgb(79,79,79);"]For sale as a 90% finished project. I have been having problems with a driveline issue and it has sapped the motivation from me. I'm certain the problem can be fixed, and its very possible that simply returning the whole flywheel & clutch assembly to standard F355 items would do the trick.[/font]

------------------

Tidy, low mileage (60k), 1999 base S1 Lotus Elise. Was CATD front clam damage but already previously repaired to a good standard when I bought the car. Obviously now there is almost nothing original bar the tub, windscreen and the wishbones (all bushes replaced).

Correctly registered as 3.5L V8 with correct Ferrari Engine number on DVLA V5. Currently insured with REIS, but SORN. 

 

To have this car built for you by a motorsport garage would cost you into 6 figures, (and it still wouldn't have some of the technology/software strategy I have fitted - I design engines for an OEM). Over 4.5GB of folders, diagrams, CAD models, drawings, photographs and calculations and engine maps will come with the car to the new owner. I'd be willing to negotiate throwing in a laptop with the Cosworth CalTool software licence and cables required to map and talk to the ECU/dash. I'm also happy to offer some training on this, and generally be on hand on phone or email to support you to finish the car.

There's a modest spares package - mostly sensors, electrical connectors and engine components.

Also included I can transfer you ownership of ferotus.blogspot.com which gets around 1000 hits/month currently but might be useful if you wanted to race it/appeal for sponsors etc..

 

I haven't had a chance to weigh the complete car yet, but I will put it all back together and do so. I'm very confident it's under 800kg Wet.

Wrapped in HEXIS Gloss Orange professional automotive vinyl its an easy to clean finish that should hold up well to trackdays. I'll include the rest of the roll (loads left) for patching up stonechips etc.

 

 

 

 

Here's the current spec. 90% of the parts are brand new:

whats the last 10% to do

[pat_t]

Hi

• Sort out the flywheel/transfer shaft  - probably about £2000 more in parts.. 
• Finish mapping the engine (already about 25% done) - should be easily doable in one more day on the rolling road.
• Extremely minor bits of bodywork - fitting catches etc.

That's it, then it's ready for shaking down on track.

 

Previous rolling road session:

 

Get in touch if you're seriously interested as i'm imminently accepting a deposit for just the rolling chassis otherwise! 

 

regards,

Pat

[nicollow]

If I wasnt married, Id have this as my wife

[rob999]

Time to sell the S1 then Joe

[The Batman]

NEVER!!

[hughcam]

Why do all the hard work then give up at the last hurdle?

Why do all the hard work then give up at the last hurdle?

 

 

I'm just not enjoying it anymore, decided to cash out and buy something I can use straight away. This could make an incredible car one day for someone though, I've done the groundwork ...and as I've stated, the asking price is way less than you could build another for!

[MAXR]

If you like, I can put it up a link on a well known Ferrari forum for you. It will generate interest... I would have had this from you if it was fully finished & mapped.

[pat_t]

MAXR, thank you for that offer, please go ahead. If I end up splitting engine I may need to advertise on the ferrari sites.. If it was finished by now I probably wouldn't be selling and certainly not at this price. FYI it's insured agreed value (approved by underwriter) for £55K currently

[Duncan VXR]

Could it be road legal? DG

[pat_t]

Could it get a daytime MOT currently at a friendly test station? Yes (what I was intending) Strictly speaking legal to the letter of law? No (hydraulic handbrake, no Cat. Lights are ok for daytime MOT though)

[Duncan VXR]

Thanks Pat DG

[MAXR]

Does anyone know how to get hold of Pat? I've messaged him yesterday.

 

cheers

 

Max

[Duncan VXR]

Hi max did you try his mobile number? Contact Patrick on 07904 061484. Located in Leicestershire DG

[MAXR]

He's emailed me now, thanks!

[Mangham54]

Could a moderator tidy the OPs opening post... as It is a mess of bullet points.

[pat_t]

Going to give this one more week before I resign myself to breaking it for parts
