Reason for sale - she's just sitting in the garage as I now won't use her as a daily driver any more.

• Tyres, discs and pads all replaced last year (thanks to Dave @ SeriouslyLotus!) and car only done about 3,000 easy miles since then (France holiday) - tons of life in those

• 2 keys both with Cobra alarm fobs
What you'll get here is a warts and all writeup. I don't care, or rather, I do. I'm in no rush to sell and I'd rather tell it like it is and not have someone turn up expecting a garage queen. Never been painted in my 12+ years of ownership, needs the front ears fibreglassing and the lower front repainting as it's peppered with stonechips. The window seals have lifted and there's scuff marks around the roof fixings. Needs a service, the cam belt was done at the same time as the headgasket so is due a C service.
If she doesn't sell before the spring then I'll get the front painted, a c-service done and put it back up for sale heading into summer at a fair dollop more. In other words, if you don't mind the niggles or you can sort it cheaper, now is the time to buy. Sensible offers considered but please don't come at me with something silly as I'd rather hang onto the car than let it go cheap.

Hope you are fit n well Simon
