It was deepseatigers. That car was loved like no other. It did the miles but was really well looked after (no expence spared). 'Tiger traded for an Exige S in white.

I'm looking to purchase it anything I should know about or look for? It seems a good price for the age.

Dont know what price it is but I know the car and deepseatiger and I (and several friends) have purchased from Ben and Ameyc. They are good guys and know the cars.

It's a very nice car, seen it on a couple of Goodwood Breakfast runs. Bought my current car from Westover and am very happy with it (and the dealer).

As has been said above, its been very well cared for & is a lovely car, the BoLOCS all know it and its owner well.

Have a very close look at the paint finish as I know the owner wasn't overwealmed by the job Lotus did when new & there was some talk of re painting it under warranty.

Its never been crashed or tracked & many of us would gladly donate varoius organs to own it.

May al;so be worth trying to get some Yokohamas put on it before you buy (It had new Toyo's on it but apparently felt far better on the Yoko's)

Regards

What was the problem with the paint? They've repainted the front and although you can see scratches in the rest of the bodywork isn't that normal for a Black car?

Yes that is about par for the course with black "used" cars, but I think the DST`s problem was that it was covered in little fine scratches from new!! Not what you expect when you spend that much money on a new car!! Probably some inadequate valeter washing it with a dirty sponge prior to delivery or similar.
