Who Knows This Car?

Post by Cammy » Sat Feb 01, 2014 9:02 am

I'm considering this car http://www.murraylotus.co.uk/pre-owned- ... 1-%2711%27

Would appreciate any history surrounding the car and feedback from Team SE. Please post any comments or e-mail me direct at callum@sescotland.co.uk

Thanks in advance :thumbsup

Don't know the car but a quick chat to Brandon & I am sure he will give you the details. Alternatively if data protection gets in the way I am sure he can pass on your details.

However with 3 owners I would speculate that Lotus management may be the 1st owner.

Also worth trying the Lotus Forums site in case its not a local car.

Don't know the car but was admiring it during last visit to Murray's, absolutely stunning condition.

Hi George
Have been in to speak with Brandon and he has given me lots of info. Car looks a nice example and Brandon has been very helpful, just thought it would be worth some independent feedback if anyone has knowledge of the car within the group.

Cheers

Tidy.

3 owners in 2 years says "three people tried and failed"...but you know what you are getting into, Cammy, so why not :-)

Not quite 3 owners in 2 years. First owner was JCT (if I remember correctly). I should know - it's my old car.
I decided that the S wasn't for me - I love the Evora but would have preferred a 2012MY to be honest.
I spent a bit of money getting her painted up like a SR and getting the calipers painted too.
The car was in great nick and it was used very very infrequently by me. It was also a little too big for my garage - which was a big deciding factor in selling it.
I do miss it - hope it has gone to a good home.

Anthony, I guess I meant simply that certain others maybe didn't appreciate what they had. Other than you, clearly!

Nice Cammy.
S160 gone?

Few calls on the Porker "the service is due in June, will you service before sale?"
"Ehhh, no I won't!"

Viewing on Sunday!

160 is now sitting with Brandon. Kept it nice and simple. Really is a nice example for someone to get their hands on. Hope it stays in Scotland

Tut, I'm sure I can be persuaded to have a run. Will give myself a few weeks to get used to the car before attempting to keep up with you though :lol:
