Description

It’s finally here, the one you've been waiting for. First registered 9 November 2001 and remaining with its sole keeper until our recent acquisition, this represents a rare opportunity to secure a genuine 1 owner car accompanied by a comprehensive service history and modest mileage.

Finished in the exceptionally rare metallic hue known simply as 'Aqua', the car presents in remarkably good and original condition. Appearing to wear its factory paint throughout, it is what we would describe as an "honest" car; what you see is what you get, no hidden history, no cover-ups, just a well preserved and lovingly cherished example. Correspondingly, there is an inevitable spattering of minor stone chips evident in the more vulnerable areas consistent with the vehicle's age and mileage; a further sign of its originality (the front mudflaps providing a measure of protection along the flanks). Aside from this, there are very few imperfections worthy of note.

The soft top is entirely free from wear and fading, indicating sparing use. The staggered wheels, measuring 16" across the front axle and 17" across the rear, appear to retain their original finish and, incredibly, are free from any kerb damage or notable surface corrosion. The matching Yokohama Advan Sport tyres are dated 2022 and 2021 at the front and rear respectively.

Inside too, the car is beautifully preserved. Designed with the contortionist in mind, it is not difficult to see how extricating oneself from the cockpit so frequently results in wear. That said, aside from light abrasions visible on the deep sill coverings, there is nothing of any significance. It is, however, from here that the Sports Tourer package makes itself clearly evident with the addition of carpets, leather seats with lumbar support, leather trimmed door panels and steering wheel, and a 4-speaker audio system with CD head unit.

The maintenance record is a delight to peruse, with no less than 16 service stamps, 14 of which from Lotus main agents, and documenting 3 timing belt replacements, most recently at 37, 500 miles in June 2021.

OUR PROMISE - All vehicles are supplied with a minimum 6-months warranty with the option to extend for added peace of mind. With over 40 years' experience in specialist vehicle maintenance, you can rest assured that you are dealing with a genuinely reputable family of enthusiasts.
