14,600 miles. Due to a more pressing matters I've decided to abandon my 'need' for this much loved toy.

The car is #281 of 340 and has the full 190 upgrade. The engine was rebuilt at 10,000 miles to original design specification and hasn't had a single moment of Lotus glitchiness whilst I've had it.

I'm the 2nd owner of this 340R and have a folder containing all receipts for *every* single last bit of work that's been performed on the car - it has a very, very thorough history.

It's just had an 'A' service and is currently shod with M compound A048R tyres on the nice Technomag' wheels. Comes with the titanium exhaust and standard exhaust. Is fitted with the CRP and comes with the standard cat. Has Eliseparts ali-belled discs.

There's nothing much else to report about the car as if you're looking at this advert then I'm guessing you know what you're looking at (makes sense to me).

The funny thing is, I'd probably be quicker than you in your VXT if I was driving a standard Elise. thumbsup

Assuming that the bag-o-nails Krap series is running then they would urinate all over *any* VX220 on a track

On a serious note, to anyone that's every thought about poncing around in a 340R for a bit: Do it. It's just one of those cars that doesn't really compare to anything. From a driver's perspective, I'd rather have a standard S2 Elise to be honest but the 340 is just a beat and a massive, massive attention whore if that's your thing. The handling is fcuking hilarious and will make you smile everytime you drive it. Everyone should own one at some point in their life.
