Just bought an S Limited

[kuro]

Abandoned my search for a good cheap £1k to 1.5k mk1 and upped my budget. Turned up a S Limited for sale near me and spent over an hour checking it and as described, its rust free. Loads of work done by the owner, just need to tidy up a bit inside. Original japanese owner appears to have handed it to a Japanese tuning company by the name of zelous? They added side skirts, enkei wheels and an hks exhaust.

Really pleased with this little car, here's a pic

Those side skirts take a bit of getting used to, but it looks like a great car.

Wasn't to sure about them myself but it looks better in the flesh

Looks nice. Like the pinstripe. Looks like a little ducktail would balance the skirts out a treat and give it some real purpose.

Picked it up today and after a nice drive home over dartmoor I set about cleaning it up a bit. The guy who owned it looked after it mechanically and washed it but I don't think he ever bothered with the interior and it's come up a treat. Couple of niggly things, the dash lights are not working and the radio is ste but nothing that can't be sorted.

I lived in Exeter when I bought mine from a bloke in Plymouth, so my first drive in mine was a trip over Dartmoor. My profile picture is from that day.

After a few days cleaning up under the bonnet, boot and interior I've managed to take ten years off the s-ltd. Sorted the dash, stiff soft top and fitted a new cd player. The idea was to get a car a bit rough around the edges and sell on next spring but not sure I want to let this go now.

Look great. I've wondered whether to put a red leather interior into my green Eunos for that classic Lotus look.

Mine could do with a new drivers seat tbh as its quite worn. However, I've heard the red interiors are like hens teeth.

Polished up well. Looks great!

It might be worth getting an upholsterer to have a look at it.
