H8OAG Sheds and Smokers survey says.......

Have a good look at the photo........the background can give up as many clues as the subject.

(A car park in Alexandria suggests no premises.....or less photogenic premises)


It is a Scottish registered car albeit with illegal non reflective plates
(Tony Flint of PCGB Scotland or Motortune in Shotts may know the provenance of this car)

All the repairs listed are known issues with this model.....right down to the fork mod on the G50 box. (Stops it jumping out of second gear on the overrrun)

All head/engine/gearbox work should be carried out by a specialist

Head/Valve work commensurate with mileage

Wheels are non standard ...with the original fuchs being more desirable for resale

The asking price is not deadly.....if the list of repairs have recently been carried out

I would however be concerned about the need to replace the front wings as the bodies generally remain rust free with little maintenance

The heater issues are typical....but make sure the aftermarket exhaust works with the heat exchangers to heat the car.

The ebay website no longer lists the car.......so it may be gone

Did notice an S2 with no reserve though if you fancy a Porker with potentially less issues

Thanks for all the replies and advice. I was hoping you'd say "go for it" and that the money pit stories were a myth. But I'll get the lotus sorted and keep it instead.

Mark, did you get an Elise yet?

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

Was with skelly last night and we spoke about this.
Got a nice wee list of what the lotus is getting and
how nice the mini makeover will improve it.

He also bought some new parts last night :thumbsup

Parisian registered 964 Turbo 3.6? Very nice, but not in the same buying & running price range...

Be Warned. I looked at this car in the flesh for less than 60 seconds. It is F****D!!! :!: :shock: Engine oil pouring out and rotten all over. Not to be advised unless you have got lots of money to waste.
