Eta: this is the one I looked at ...

Stock exhaust on it, but it's in really good condition

Any reason you didn't buy it?
Also, can't tell from the pics but are the seats the ones with the harness cut-outs?

I'll have a look over at SELOC, thanks.

Its a low mileage 2011 Exige 243PP. If its in your budget, negotiate a little. At the price I'd have a preference for the Isotope Green at HR Owens or the Light Blue at B+C or even the Exige sprint at B+C but thats purely a colour thing. Other than that its what one would expect from a reputable Lotus dealer. Be surprised if they refused a serious bid of around 31/31.5K. Other than that no reason to worry.

It's only the colour (and that it's bloody miles away from me) that's making me hold off.
I believe an Exige should be a little bit bolder on the colour front.

The Isotope one for sale looks ok, but I want the 2010 facelift front end / rear spoiler as my last one had.

They're probax seats from what I remember. I didn't buy it due to it being outside my budget.. It wasn't the one I went to look at, but had a look at it whilst I was waiting.

+1. It is however a 2009 car.

Saw that today.
I like the alcantara bits but the colour doesn't really jump out at me and the seats are wrong.(for me)

I was very spoilt with my last one - 2010 Burnt orange 240S, orange and black leather Probax, Sports / Performance pack, a/c, Ohlins.

It's going to be hard to find similar I know.
I'm not fussy though...

To be honest, without trying one out for size (it's been 3 years) I'm not 100% I can get in/out as easily as I did!
My local dealer is no more so Silverstone is the nearest and that's 80 mins away.

Arrived yesterday. Sold already!

I contemplated that black one... but it would be an absolute bugger to clean, and I am admittedly anally retentive on the 'detailing' front. I bought the Aspen White one advertised on here privately about a month ago.

Agree, facelift S2s need a decent colour. White or Orange were my preference but did not want to contemplate the Hangar 111 conversions for insurance reasons.
