Model: LOTUS ELAN TURBO SE Year: 1990 Mileage: 97,000 MOT: FULL Location: LEICESTERSHIRE Price: £2900.00 ono Contact details: O7B24 4921S6 1990 LOTUS ELAN TURBO Super-cool little roadster, in the best colour ! Totally original, even has the factory Alpine radio. Comes with loads of spares. Roof perfect, wheels in really good condition and mechanically the car is fault free. The bodywork and interior are tired and need sorting out hence the low price. Drivers seat is ripped/torn and the interior is generally tatty reflecting the age of the car! (Typical of an old Lotus you might say). The bodywork is nice and straight but does have some chips and lacquer peel which will be to be addressed. Mileage - approx 97k Overall this is a nice little project, not mint but could be with time and TLC. Great runner and really fun to drive! Will be sold with a full mot. Thanks for reading!    |

Have you got any pictures of the interior ? Is there any history, evidence of timing belt changes?

I'll take some pics of the interior tomorrow, not sure about last cambelt change but I'll have a look.... Bear in mind it's a sub £3,000 Elan it's prudent to be a realist and not to expect perfection!
At this price a trader could buy it and after tidying there would still be a nice profit in it (not sure if that's your intention)

I've always had a hankering for one of these, a bit more left field than a MX5, Z3 or MGF IMO. If you can put a few interior shots up that will be great.
How long have you had the car for?

I agree re the comments comparing with MGF/Z3/MX5 comparisons, they are indeed a left-field alternative offering something a bit more exclusive with a touch of badge snobbery and far more avant-garde styling... In real life they are so much lower, wider (flatter?!) and generally more exotic looking. The engines in these are high revving Isuzu DOHC 16 valvers so they are pretty bomb proof too ! Here's a couple of interior pics - there's a pice of trim missing from the passenger door on the photo but everything is including (pic is old). I can get a really good drivers seat for £100 which is a pretty simple fix!   I've bought the car purely to sell on - the previous owner had it for around two years but spent most of his time in Switzerland so it's not been on the road much during that time. If anyone needs any further info please ask... I'm open to weird and wonderful px's too... |

Very interested in this.
Is the number plate shown on the car included?
What service history is there to support the mileage?
I assume it has clear HPI/write off history?
Please let me know and I'll give you a call. Thanks

I'm looking for something to scratch and itch and I've always liked these. |

I'll give you a shout tomorrow with some details, also a list of spares etc that come with the car (there's quite a bit).
Price is negotiable and if you wanted me to arrange transport up to you I know a great driver who is very reasonable on price!

Thanks. What's it like for space inside? Is there room for someone who's eaten too many ferrero rocher over Christmas/ever?

It's pretty good for space actually, quite wide, seats are low and the headroom with the roof up is good.... Nothing like an Elise, which are impossible to get in to!

Please let me know and I'll give you a call. Thanks Hi fella, Sorry I missed your post! It is HPI clear, you are welcome to carry out your own checks using the registration H100 LOT which is included in the sale! Mileage is supported by MOT's and there is a load of paperwork with it but I've not been through it yet (car is in storage, and not at my house!) Please give me a call whenever suits you and we can have a chat  |

Update -
Re the paperwork, it looks like it's sadly been lost so I don't have anything except a couple of MOT's and the V5 will need to be applied for which is a shame.
I made a quick walk around video today which can be viewed here:
Thanks for the interest so far!

Just to say that Funkula is quite the nicest person I've ever bought anything from on this forum. Good luck with your sale.
