Brand new Lotus owner...

[Paolo]

....the car's not brand new, but I am to Lotus (although it's been a long time coming). Picked it up yesterday and haven't smiled so much in all my life. It's a 111R and I'm thrilled to bits.

Also spotted an exige in Arrochar earlier today who flashed and waved - I'm hoping that's a sign of things to come!!

Just found the site today (i've finally given the car a rest) and I'll be learning a lot I'm sure.

Cheers!

Hi Paul,

Did you buy this car from MMC ? From what I can make of your registration I'm pretty sure it is my mates old 111R. The black rear diffuser is also a giveaway.

If so then it's a good 'un, he owned it from new and it lived in his garage under a dust cover most of the time and only ever went out when the sun was shining. It's also never been tracked. I think it did hit the rev limiter once but that was when I was driving it

He had a bit hassle with blistering paint that never got round to being resolved so you might want to have a look at that whilst it's still covered by the warranty.

Hope you have lots of fun with it.


Neil
