Also a 'spare' dashboard should you wish to have an unaltered dash fitted.

Meant to reply to this yesterday, got sidetracked.

Very sorry to hear you're flogging the car, Dave

Had things been a bit more upbeat here I'd be offering you money for a no-shame cheeky Nitron swapover.

Real shame to hear this Dave, enjoyed reading about your trips during your ownership.

Good luck with the sale, looks a well-specced car for the money

Keep posting up and hopefully you'll be back with another Lotus in the not too distant

Gutted for you mate. Looks a particularly well loved and cared for example. I echo Steve's comments - get another one soon!

Thanks for the comments guys.

It's a reluctant sale at the moment, but I'm doing nearly 800 business miles a week and the company won't give me a bloody company car, so instead of ragging the wifes car into non-existance, I'm selling up the Elise and the 07 plated Polo and putting the money together for two motorway mile crunching MPV's.

The green machine had a rocky start, but after these years of ownership I know that the car is in tip-top condition. The recent scare about possible fusebox corrosion turned out to be nothing more than a dodgy HID ballast box - with the green corrosion powder being the sodding retaining nut and not the fusebox itself. It did awaken me to the fact that had it been more serious then I wouldn't have been able to fix the car immediately - so I'm stepping outside until finances are somewhat better.

I maybe leaving the brand for a short while, but I know I will return as soon as I can.

Hopefully there'll be a nice weekend before she sells and they'll be time for one last video.
