Doing my daily skim of lotus for sale on piston heads and saw this one:

Just wondering who's it was?

I thought he sold that ages ago?
Really well sorted standard car if ever there was

sheesh - the subsequent owner took that poor well cared for car back to Murrays
Absolutely superb motor that one
From a purely selfish p.o.v, nice to see S1 residuals beginning to hold firm

Seems odd that it missed it's first 2 services by 1k miles and doesn't have a stamp for the 3rd one.

If the 3rd service was at the factory, there is prob nothing odd about them not stamping it, perhaps the norm
Mine was like that too, but if there is a print out or receipt to back it up its no biggie I suppose.
Nice car though.

Looks very Shiny and tidy in Gordons pictures.
Did someone here not buy it? I seem to remember some controversy about something that should have been included but wasn't or something...
Am I thinking of another car?

Gordon sold it to a guy who was on here and there was an argument about something. Unfortunately, by total coincidence the server that we were using crashed and we lost 2/3 days worth of posts, including the thread with the argument.
I think the guy that bought it probably felt we'd deleted his post but that wasn't the case, the server did genuinely crash and that was the final push we needed to get moved off the freebie one. I think I PMd him to explain but AFAIK he never came back.

Something about the hard top I recall. What happened to Gordon? I know he gave up on the Cateringvan racing due to ludicrous rules meaning he couldn't get any points. Has he gone back to the AA?
