I test drove that car. Is it that number 1 135r from Murrays? Have fun, you'll love it. Track it hard, and use it for what it was built for. Cracking looking car, nice one

They were asking way too much for it. There were cheaper ones with less miles for sale down south. But after i drove it, although it is a cracking car, i just didn't feel it was 9-10 grand better than my S1. Had a pax in one at Kh too (yellow one, the guy's got an old red Elan too) and it didn't feel that much quicker round a lap. So i just put a set of tyres on my car and worked with Steve Butts to get the suspention and geo properly sorted. It is a gorgeous car though. Wasn't too keen on the blue suede stuff inside, but that could be changed.

Yup, expensive cars but I fell in love with it especially after the 111s. Handling is better than my S1 with nitrons and it does have 190 bhp/tonne Noticed there are cheaper ones but all the Lotus dealer ones are the same price. At least Murrays know what I paid for it and will give me a good deal on the Exige.
Interior is ace....very The Simpsons!!

Are you sure? They must have put in on one hell of a diet. My S2 (unladen) weights in at circa 800kgs giving me 206 bhp/tonne.Gareth wrote:and it does have 190 bhp/tonne
A 135 bhp engine would only kick out at 168 bhp/tonne.

According to Evo, it weighs 726Kg.
Matt, can you double check the figures?

Yeah?
I stuck mine on a weight bridge (with fuel and oil but no me) and it was circa 800kg give or take 20kgs
