Never owned a lotus but always wanted one and a weekend / track day budget piggy bank need cracking open

Thoughts on this one appreciated.

Looks good apart from the 6 year gap between services from 2010 - 2016. Could be an innocent explanation?

£657.84 for an A service yikes

Will you find many sticking to annual service intervals if you only do 1000 miles per year? Especially at that price.

That's not just a service, there must be something else in there. Either way, with no depreciation, £650/year to run a sports car like this is good value IMO. I'd much rather spend £650 on a Lotus service than £650 in depreciation on a euro hatch smile

Exactly re depreciation - total waste of money

He said it had the rebuild and the service in the service gap and only a few miles so less concerned.

Thanks for the feedback.
