Back in the market for a lotus the scars have healed...

The plan (which was admittedly derailed slightly by clutch gate) was Sport 350 for a couple of years then ideally a 410.

I’m in decent shape in the M4 the lack of miles due to covid means I’ve a small chunk of equity in it and values are holding up for some reason so a good time to exit potentially a year earlier than I thought I would.

410s are within reach and been kicking a few options around. This one I love, has all the bits but... has missed its service in 2019

That is absolutely lovely, but could you stretch to a new Final Edition 390?

yes i like that. crack on.

Do we think the lack of a service in 2019 is an issue?

what are the service interval of an V6, as long as the first one was done and then another since it wouldnt bother me its only got 2700miles

9k/12months I think. Had it’s Run in service Nov 18 at 1100miles then oil, brake fluid, air filter and what looks like soup waffles from the scribbles on the history in October 2020. It’s being sold with the balance of the lotus warranty, which will obviously be void now.

It’s a nice spec and has stuff done already that I’d probably want done (harnesses PPF etc)

Won’t get the ECU dump as not a lotus franchise.

Also advertised privately so suspect SoR.

Looks good in red with the carbon although some fading on the transom and perhaps a few chips on the front clam visible...

looks stunning

There are 3 x 380's for sale for about £58k

I enquired about the Kawasaki green one, still waiting on the sales person sending me pics/video, in the mean times I deduced via some detective work that it had been used in the javelin sprint series (a bit like SLS) and has lived a fairly hard life on track at the hands of someone who likes kerbs. The other two not so fussed. I think a 410 is the sweet spot, just need to be patient (but bot too patient in case the arse falls out the M4 market)

Considering it.

Don’t consider too long.

Create yourself some options.

Finding myself looking at this quite a lot...

Seems like a well sorted S1 with a few choice mods:
