Unfortunately for me, my pride and joy has turned in to a garage show pony, as it isn't driven enough and it deserves someone who will.
The mileage between MOTs is minimal. Bought with 27k 4 years ago and it's only at 29k now. That's less than 2k a year since new.
Bought from Bradford JCT600 Lotus, who took it as a PX and put it in the show room given the low mileage and condition.
All the paper work since new and pampered:
Every MOT.
Every receipt.
Every bill of sale.
Lotus main dealer hand over pack to me.
Lotus Certificate of Authenticity, with hand over box. Even the cuff links, pen and tie clip. It's all there.
Full service history, which is a mix of main dealer, Hanger11 and specialists.
Carnauba wax polished.
Leather cleaned, but not perfect with light wear.
There is the odd stone chip, although touched up with matched paint pen, which I'll give you.
Original tool kit.
I warm it up, then run it around the block each week, then tuck it up for bed under the fitted, water proof, lined specialist car cover, that's included. It's covered despite it being 100% garaged.
It's always on a trickle charger as well, which is included.
I've NEVER driven it in the rain or even when the roads are damp.
I've carried out a few cosmetic modifications, which can be reversed at my cost / labour, if the full asking price is offered. These are:
Front splitter
Side pods
Team Dynamics 17/18" wheels with tyres that have done about 200 miles. The wheels are spotless and the tyres like new.
Side pods
Subtle rear lip spoiler
I've had the front clam vents and engine cover vents painted black, as they had gone grey.
The original wheels and tyres are included in the full asking price. They are in very good condition, but rears will need new tyres at some point. They passed the MOT though. One wheel has a 2" kerb mark.
I have a few bits to include, which the nice guy I bought the wheels from gave me. Wheel nuts, seals, etc.
Private plate not included. I'll get it taken off and fit the original plates DY59AYH
Oh and it's a hoot to drive. My other car is a 580bhp EV and that we feels BORING by comparison to my (or your) Lotus
