Unfortunately the time has come for me to let this baby go to a new home :-(

 

Quick summary:

2.2 supercharged stage 2 by Batman, with all the optional bits done too.

Mileage is around 104k miles (need to confirm)

UK car, lived in Ireland for ~6 years, bought by me and returned to UK ~4 years ago.

Non-cat, and has a BIG A4 folder of history & receipts by me as well as previous owners.

Bodywork is a bit tatty - if I didn't use it on track, I'd have done a respray or wrap.

Interior is red/black leather with harnesses and seats in very good shape.

Extensive mods - generally track focussed, but always retaining the car road legal.

 

Dry stored in London for the past 2 years, but imminent loss of storage location is coming up, hence very very reluctant sale.

 

Looking for £12,000 - ideally someone who wants all the spares and accessories (wheels, laptop etc.). Will post up pics/vids in due course.

Sad times man. Great car that.

[Bootdog]

true ... still gutted, but just don't have the time or storage space any more. Yet again, someone will get a great car out of me!

- I never told the TT in the end BTW, its still going strong and full of V6 loveliness!

A few pics:

Lotus festival shortly after coming back to the UK, still on IRL plates:

 

Onboard footage at RAF Woodridge, all kit is included for this (iphone 4s too):

 

Crap image of seats and harnesses and 12V cutoff switch (tiny bit of bolster wear can be seen, this seat now in passenger side, so won't progress any further):

 

Laptop, opcom, service history:

 

A fairly recent pic:

 

2015:

 

Hardtop:

 

Youtube clip onboard last year:

A little update on this :

Now fully MOTd, with a new alternator fitted at the same time (its quite a list of issues that will crop up when the battery is low!).

Final supercharging map completed at Courtenays, now running 254 bhp with printout, redline is somewhere near 7k rpm    

 

A few more recent pics:

A little update on this :    

Is this sold?

[chris_uk]

Caster shims removed?? You sure you dont mean camber shims??

[Bootdog]

Still for sale, and thanks Chris for the correction. As you might have guessed, I didn't do this work - I got it done a while back by these guys : https://en-gb.facebook.com/mcbennettmotorsport/ 

[Stepgiant]

Is this car ever over in Ireland? I would be very interested in seeing it. 

[Bootdog]

Sadly not, and I have taken a deposit on it now anyway :-(

 

This might be of interest http://www.backroads...-Elise-for-sale

- "Pat" on that site could probably tell you if there's any VX/Lotii on the market on Irish plates.

[Bootdog]

Now sold :-(

... but to a forum member, so gone to a good home :-)
