Any info on Sport 300 (no64) for sale at Brooklands Exeter?

[Namor]

I'm interested in buying the car (link below) as its the only Sport 300 currently available and want to know if anyone has any history on it? eg condition when owned by previous owners, relevant repairs, track usage etc.

It's the last one ever made (no.64) and in norfolk mustard.
Asking GBP 39,950 so car needs to have an immaculate history to justify the price.

What did the dealer say about it when you phoned them?

Hi Namor,

Here is some more information on the vehicle. It is in perfect condition and has just had a service and more, currently having a new tracker fitted too. the spec is below:

It was the London Motor Show Car 1996 - this is the reason Lotus made
a special interior for the car rather than just the alcantara fitted
in other Sport 300'S

I have receipts of work by previous owners and delivery, warranty work
from the first owner.

The engine work completed by Lotus - this was a planned maintenance
program and not because of faults.
The brief was to check everything!

Gearbox re-build including new crown wheel and pinion.
Chargecooler overhaul
New exhaust manifold
Cylinder head overhaul
Waste gate replacement
Oil sender replaced
Temp. sender replaced
Crank seal replaced

Other small jobs were completed including track testing and handling.









Hope this assists and please feel free to contact me. As an aside the last one to sell was LHD.

Kind regards
George Nightingale

Shame about the interior on that one, the alcantara job looked 100% better.

I agree, I prefer the alcantara. All sports cars should have it. It's very unreflective and makes the seats much grippier round corners.

I don't imagine it wears as well as leather though.
