Hi I'm new here and am thinking of buying the above car - its an S2 111R in yellow with black wheels and (very nice) colour coded trim. Its also got a Pipercross Air Filter mod. It has Lipscombe plates but has been at a dealer in Amersham for several months. Apparently it used to be owned by a Pistonhead so if anyone can tell me anything about it I'd be very grateful, especially if theres any history or reason I shouldn't buy it!
Cheers

I looked at it months ago, but bought an Exige instead. I'd push hard for a great deal is been there a very very long time I think

[zermattspeed]

Its been there close to a year I think - next to the Orange ex Demo also still for sale. I actually drove the orange one a year ago but had to sell my old TVR before I could think about something else -which took a while! They are both several thousand down on the original prices so are I think competative.

Been there for 18 months I would say.

Merritts are no longer a Lotus dealer, and I would very surprised if they have any movement left on the price as the car has been in stock for so long.

It was a Ph'ers car previously though.

Just dropped my Audi of at Merritts for MOT

Looks like someone might have bought a new car (subject to dest drive of course).............

Yep,

That's my old Car, we traded in at Lipscomb Lotus in Kent who passed it onto them, we treated that car like a baby and spent thousands of pounds on it. That car was the best Elise I ever owned up and till yesterday when I picked up our new Elise SC it was fantastic

Check my profile out under Car's and look for an 55 R

U2U Me if you're serious about buying and I can tell you exactly what I did etc

Thought I recognised the plate! Yep, being Boggy's he lavished it with attention bordering on OCD and didn't go near a track in it

Right, where's the thread on your new car, Bogster?

[S Works]

Nice car that, and almost trackday ready with the braided hoses. I can attest to that car being an utter GJOB... despite my repeated abuse Boggy never took it on track!

I can attest to having seen it pirouetting at a carlimits activity day though. Lovely spec and no doubt a steal now if you can drive a hard bargain!

[S Works]

Jesus wept - at £17,750 I'm amazed you didn't get back in there Boggy. You could have had that for £16k with some hard bargaining and almost got your depreciation cash back!!!

Was that the car you you bought from me Stu?

They've only changed the diffuser back to silver from a Black one? What are they doing

Maybe someone reversed it into something? Looked much better in black.

[kevin ritson]
