Well here she is at last :thumbup:
Discussion
Hi folks,
Well at last at the weekend I finally had chance to wash and polish my absolute pride and joy, and here she is (I hope the download time is ok)...
Let me introduce you to my Lotus Elise Type 23
One of only 50 ever produced!
Comes with a superb fitted colour coded hard top and green soft top.
I had all the wheels off this weekend to get to the inner bodywork and clean all the alloys from behind. The seats also came out and all the floors etc were inspected and cleaned along with the seats and interior....bling!!
Fitted with a factory Lotus sports stainless steel exhaust (no other mods).
She's in for her service today...The guy says "She's like new"...phew!!
After some research I realised she hadn't got her number. I phoned Lotus and a very nice lady indeed sent me her number... 22 of 50.
Absolutely mint even in the engine department!
potenzas fitted all round!
She's not 1000% mint but very close and I can assure you she soon will be!!
Well, that's it. I hope you all like her. I have to say I'm a very lucky chap and don't I know it...lol
Thanks for looking.
Regards,
Mac

Hi Wendy,
The origial number was never claimed so the car never had it's it's number plaque...so it was nice for me to be the first to claim it.
Apparently when the numbers were issued (or made) not all of the cars were sold at that point and Lotus didn't want customers buying the cars out of sequence. So when cars was purchased the Lotus garages (supplying the cars new) were supposed to contact Lotus for the number plaque, but some were never claimed this being one of them...Lotus can check the number of the car via the chassis number. This number plaque was just never ordered.
I like to think it kind of finishes the car ad gives it a bit more identity.

Mac
