2013 Lotus Exige V6 Roadster
Discussion
Hello,
Had the clutch been replaced, when were the discs and pads last replaced?
Have the rear toe links and the dampers been replaced?
does the aircon work properly and blow cold, has it had the hoses replaced?
Does the hood leak?
When were the auxiliary/supercharger belts last changed?
I see you've listed the services but can you list which service was done each time in recent years.
Is the exhaust the original Lotus?
Any other non standard parts?
Is the 2nd to third gear change smooth with no noises?
Can you post photos of the suspension and brakes inside the wheels?
Are the any cracks, ripples or damage to any of the bonded chassis?
Is there any blistering/ bubbling on the paint?
does it have front PPF, are there stone chips etc?
Has the car been tracked as far as you know?
Thank you

Please do arrange an in person viewing with the lovely team at Henry's Car Barn as they will be able to show you round the car.
The clutch has not been replaced but has been looked after and not shown any signs of needing it. The brake discs and pads appeared new when I bought the vehicle at 31k miles but I don't have a specific date that they were replaced.
The hood seal is good and I've not had any issues with leaks when washing it. However, as you can tell from the mileage its not a daily driver and mostly a fair weather car.
Auxillary/supercharger belt was May 2024
Services were done in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations by a trusted independent mechanic.
Parts of the exhaust have been replaced including the back box but all parts are OEM Lotus items.
Engine mounts are non-OEM poly bushes as there was a supply issue with the original Lotus items when they were identified as needing replacement but they are correctly rated for load and NVH is excellent.
There is PPF on the rear arches but not on the front.
I use the car for weekend trips with the top down, the AC doesn't blow cold but given that it isn't important for the way I use it I've not looked into it any further and not had any work done on it.
There are no issues with any of the gear changes, my understanding was that the 2nd -> 3rd issue was more prominent on the 4 cylinder Exiges.
The car is with Henry's Car Barn so I am unable to take any additional photos, please contact the team there directly.
I am aware of 4 times that the car has been on a track including the original review on release but it has not been a 'track car' and was more to experience a little more of the performance in a responsible environment rather than risking injuries (or points) on the road.
As you can see from the photos the paint is overall in great condition with a few stone chips etc. from being out in the real world rather than a sub 1000mile concourse queen.
Thanks for your interest.

Hi there - would you mind just pointing out which photos show the two small areas of damage to the paintwork referred to in the description please? Thanks!
Hi Neal, thanks for getting in contact. There is a small spider about the size of a thumb print on the rear of the car in the 7 o clock position relative to the L of the Lotus badge. It is best seen in photos 58 and 66 but as you can see its very difficult to pick out without knowing exactly where to look. There is another imperfection on the front offside area of the access hatch (not clamshell) that is best seen in photos 28 and 38. Thanks for your interest.
