I got it home and found out the chassis was knakered (new £1800 :sad: )
so i searched on ebay and found a complete car going for spares (but went to see it and it needs not a lot for the MOT :grin: ,and it was only £600 !) luckily i only paid £50 for the other Lotus :grin: ,so this week i bought 2 lotuses (never thought i would say that !)
So it is even more important for me to get " Flame Red " on the road !

Nor the best handling or most reliable.

It was the car that started the downfall of Lotus, until they built the Elise

Did you just fancy some thing Different ?
Nearly bought a Excel a few years ago, but the guy mucked me around so I told him to shuv it, and ended up buying a GT4 Celica instead.
