I am selling this car because my company is relocating and I have had a blast with this car. I don't want to have the car back East.
It has been a CA car garaged since I bought it 10 years ago. I really would like to see it go to a person who intends to use the car. I am in no hurry to sell. Outside: The paint is in awesome shape. No spider cracks. It does have some nicks in the back and front. They are in the photos. The front and rear bumpers are not on the car. I have the rear bumper but it needs a new front bumper. The windshield needs to be reset. Interior: The headliner is not installed the way it should be. The front drivers seat has a tear on the passenger side of the seat. I have a replacement seat in the box to replace it. The radio is not stock. It is a radio with CD/ DVD playing capabilities. The door panels replace or reline the originals. All the gauges are Smith with the exception of the Amp meter. The electric windows work slow. The cowling in between the seats needs some work. The speedometer cable has been out since I bought it. I have the replacement it just needs to be installed. Engine & Transmission: Very strong engine! The 5 speed transmission works fine. The car RPM drops low some times. The ignition light comes on if you do not rev the engine. Frame: No RUST The car is set up to rally race it has adjustable shocks, PanSprot rims, and a rare Spider Frame. I have used the car as a 3 day driver each week for over a year now. . "This Lotus Is Reliable" The car is in very good condition. I have had it registered since I bought it. Car has new electronic ignition. Installed one year ago . It handles even better then a stock lotus. Possible trade for cash and 750-1000cc motorcycle in good condition. |

Lotus recalls 2008-2011 Elise, Exige and 2011 Evora over fire fear
Mon, 07 Jul 2014Lotus is recalling 860 vehicles after discovering that the oil cooler hose could detach from its fitting. Should the hose separate, it could spray oil on one of the lightweight car's tires, giving new meaning to the phrase "sudden loss of grip." The other case is, believe or not, more dire, as the spraying oil could hit the engine and ignite. Of course, neither situation is desirable, hence the recall.
The vast majority of the affected vehicles (780 of the 860) are the 2008 to 2011 Elise and Exige, built between November 2007 and July 2011. Another 80 Evora S coupes from 2011, manufactured between September 2010 and September 2011, are also included in the recall.
All repairs will, naturally, be completed free of charge. In the Elise/Exige's case, that means replacing the hose fittings, while the affected Evoras will get a new hose assembly.
Lotus Evora 'Sports Racer' is oddly named and fully loaded
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Lotus has just announced a new Evora 'Sports Racer' model that is, well, frankly not much more sporty or racy than the standard Evora or Evora S. Instead, the British company calls the Sports Racer a "visually enhanced and optimized version" of both the Evora and supercharged Evora S. To unpack that a little: The new trim will get a new set of unique exterior colors and a revised interior treatment, and it's fully decked out with options.
The 'Sports Racer' will be available in the buyer's choice of Carbon Grey, Nightfall Blue and the Ardent Red that you see in the image above (the only image we've seen of the car so far). Gloss black accents set the model apart and can be seen on the roof, forged wheels, mirrors and rear badges. Inside, one may choose between black-leather sports seats with red piping and stitching, or a Venom Red leather interior with black piping and stitching. How naughty.
In terms of tech, the 'Sports Racer' gets Lotus' Sports Pack and its remapped throttle response, higher redline, more powerful cross-drilled brakes and a more aggressively programmed Dynamic Performance Management system. The stereo system is also upgraded from the basic Evora, with a DVD player and seven-inch touchscreen display thrown in for good measure.
Lotus honors F1 efforts with limited-edition Exige LF1
Tue, 10 Jun 2014Lotus has announced a new, special edition of its hardcore Exige for customers in the UK and Europe. Limited to just 81 units (for the Lotus Formula One team's 81 victories), the new Exige LF1 is the ultimate accessory for fans of the British manufacturer's Formula One efforts.
Befitting of a car inspired by the Lotus E22, this particular Exige is finished in the team's traditional black and gold colors, complete with red accents inspired by the F1 racer. The exterior is further enhanced with unique badges that proclaim the LF1's limited-edition status. Matte gold wheels have also been fitted, just like this Lotus' big brother.
This isn't purely a paint-and-stickers job, though. Lotus has also touched up the cabin, offering up black leather and "technical fabric," complete with gold contrast stitching and piping. The seat backs and floor mats feature embroidered logos, while an individually numbered, carbon-fiber plaque sits on the LF1's dash.
