I will be fitting some nitrons, Exige wheels + 48s and some brakes. I then intend to enjoy the summer

Who knows what will happen over the winter though

Hi Jamie, extremely jealous I had to sell my S2 135 a while back which I said I would never do but circumstances dictated I needed to, however I have vowed to get back into one in the near future.

Good on you Jamie.

Looks like a good deal. Might br worth doing the bushes (if they not been done) when you fit the Nitrons.

I'd been dieing to drive a local road here thatâ€™s the long way back from Henley. I had always thought that I would love to drive a Lotus down this particular road but I have never had a chance to with my previous Loti.
So I could not wait to drive the 90 miles back from work and soon as I did I jumped into the Lotus and headed for Henley. Soon as I got on the road I could see there were a couple of slow moving trucks and I felt like it would be a anti climax.

Then they all turned off and I was left to enjoy and with the roof off (of course) it was possibly one of the best road runs I have ever had

I must say again how good the brakes felt and how the rear would just swing out a degree or two under power - amazing

I think I might just leave the tyres currently on and just get everything checked over before I hit the track.
Anyway here are a pic or two

you've got advans on - you think that's a bad set of boots?? like the duct tape on the sill protectors ( I'm not the only one!!). looks stunning mate, All chrome orange S1s remind me of the 1st time I had a good lech at them on 'Apocalypse Clarkson'.
