Hi

I've been on here for years and have had loads of different performance cars in my time.

I had an esprit turbo over 10 years ago and have since moved to the dark side with M5s, 911s and RS4s - they were all good but never hit the mark for me.

However all is not lost as I bought a 205 gti last year as a project and restored it to rude health and I have to say the combination of light weight, beautifully weighted steering and an eager engine made for a fantastic experience - well I sold that last week and the garage is looking rather bare.

See where I'm heading with this??

It's made me realise what I should have realised years ago that its not all about horsepower, so here I am back on the lotus forums looking for an S1 elise as a second car.

I dont mind condition or mileage as long as the price is right.

Happy to look at cars that need some work or mint garage queens.

Contact me if you have a suitable car languishing in your garage that's underused and getting you grief from the other half.

Cash waiting and ready to buy.

I'm in Scotland so plenty of quality pics and a good description of the car is required if its far from me.

thanks,


Steve.

'Dash switches will be familiar then?

I've just got my first Lotus (S1 Elise). A good choice.
