Need some help from the experts. Why is this car http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1504989.htm £10k cheaper than any of the others listed? I am assuming this is a too good to be true situation but I can't see why the difference. frown

It appears to be the base VVTi model without the supercharger which was only about £30k new, compared to £40k for the Launch Edition supercharged model that most of the others for sale appear to be.

Ah - I thought they all came with the supercharger.

Any reason to avoid the base model?

Anyone know how much would you be looking at to have a SC fitted?

seems expensive to me for a base spec car?

Mind you, good start place for a Honda install tongue out

Isn't that the old press car? Used to have a fairly unpleasant wrap on it if I'm right. If it is that one I think it's high mileage. That plus the lack of sc would explain why it's been hanging around.

AU plate would suggest it is. Have they even sold any other 190bhp ones?

Someone in that dealership should have already taken the decision to send back to Lotus and upgrade, would have been worth the spend and upgrades

Are Honda conversions availble for the Toyota subframe now? or has the 2-eleven got a different set-up?
Quite keen to Honda an Elise, just need to find one that has had some good chassis mods with a blown lump.
