Anyone know this car???

[zippee]

Going with my mate on Saturday to take a look at this Elise - [url]www.pistonheads.com/sales/65585.htm[/url]
Does anyone on here know it or know its history etc? Any other opinions form the info available would be welcome. Is the price about right etc?

Price seems a touch high but depends on condition.... there's a few other 01/02 cars on there for a few hundred less.

Zip,

This might be too late now but I enquired about this car and got the following response from the guy selling it who seemed very helpful.

"I can confirm the car has never been track raced or involved in an
accident or bump. The previous owner was a senior gentleman with a
particular passion for the car rather than the driving, I therefore feel
confident he wouldn't have tracked the car previous to my purchasing it
2 years ago.

As I say, there has only been the one previous owner, bought from new
12/09/01 from Peter Smith Lotus. I bought it 17/06/04 when it only had
9,800miles and have done the remainder, some 14,000 trouble free miles
since. This is principally my commute to and from Burton down the A38,
so not at all onerous.

The service history was all Lotus until May '05, when I was obliged to
do an A service myself while working in France for 3 months. Subsequent
services have been with Horizon Motorsports in Birmingham, with MOT's
done at Peter Smith. As you maybe aware, Lotus recently revised the
periodicity for cambelt change from 54,000miles (5 years) to 45,000miles
(4 years). The last service was a C service, including the cambelt.
This was done at 23,500miles by Horizon, paper work supporting that work
is included in the sale."

Hope this helps...
