Well done - glad you have joined the ranks of Lotus ownership after so long helping us out in the past at MMC. Your car looks a great colour, I very neary bought one that colour a few years ago but went for aubergine instead to keep Ann happy. Keith

lol rampant, tut... please....behave

Went for the Laser blue one, its an 03 with 37k on the clock..... took Ali down with me and he went over both of them with a fine tooth comb, red one was a nice car hadnt had the radiator done and they couldnt give me reciepts for the cam belt change...just the stamp in the book but i couldt get anyone at the garage to confirm it...Ali was pretty certain it hadnt been done, had a couple of little niggles but nothing too serious, fan, heater controlls jammed, blocks on steering needing doing and mix match of tyres....plus it was an ex lotus factory car but showing 6 owners so Ali convinced me not to go just on looks and colour.

The Laser one was 2 years newer, half the miles and its absolutly pristine condition. Had the aluminum radiator put on, upgraded suspension dont know what it is...Ali did, brake hoses, full black leather spec, upgraded sounds (cos you know I will want to sing to you as we go around) hard top, and tip top service history inside out...we couldnt find a fault on it, Ali took it to bits so think have managed to get a good one

She says....and hopes

AA cover straight on it

Great result Pauline, and many kudos to Ali for going down with you and checking the car out.

All you need to do now is drive it and enjoy it.
