Description

Collector's 2000 Lotus 340R (190hp) - 1 Owner, ~3600 Miles An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a true collector's piece. This 2000 Lotus 340R is a UK-supplied, one-owner car with just 3,600 miles from new, presented in excellent condition. It boasts the desirable 190hp engine upgrade and comes with a complete and comprehensive service history. For total peace of mind, a fresh service and a new 12-month MOT will be completed prior to sale. Conceived as the ultimate expression of Lotus's "simplify, then add lightness" ethos, only 340 of these radical machines were ever produced. With no doors or roof, it offers one of the purest, most visceral driving experiences possible for the road. The unassisted steering provides unfiltered feedback, while the howl from the highly-tuned engine, amplified by the optional titanium exhaust, is simply intoxicating. This is a raw, analogue machine for the true driving enthusiast. **Key Features & Specifications:** Engine: 1.8-litre Rover K-Series with the coveted 190hp VHPD upgrade. Exhaust: Optional Lotus Sport titanium system. Weight: Approx. 701kg, giving a phenomenal power-to-weight ratio. Performance: 0-60mph in under 4.5 seconds. Track Wheels: Fitted with its original lightweight wheels and track tyres. Road Wheels: A full, separate set of road wheels with tyres is included. It is highly unusual and valuable to find a 340R still complete with both sets. Provenance & Summary: The vehicle's provenance is impeccable, having been cherished by its one and only owner from new. The exceptionally low mileage is clearly reflected in its condition, which is fully supported by a complete and documented service history. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a significant, single-owner example of a landmark Lotus, poised for continued appreciation while offering an unparalleled analogue driving experience.
