Lotus Exige

Caractéristiques

Lotus Exige S1 — Factory LHD — Chassis #002 A rare opportunity to acquire a true piece of Hethel's history: the Lotus Exige S1, chassis number 002 straight from the factory. Crucially, this is an original factory left-hand drive (LHD) model—not a conversion. - Mileage: 23,000 km - 1st Owner: Competed in regional hillclimbs (comes with original FFSA Competition Passport & roll cage). - 2nd Owner (since 2004): Used strictly for weekend drives. Includes a thick history binder containing period invoices and magazine clippings featuring this exact chassis. Specifications & Upgrades: - Engine & Performance: 190hp Lotus Motorsport ECU kit, Carbon airbox. Includes unused high-flow trumpet kit with carbon airbox extension, plus an oil sump baffling kit. - Braking: AP Racing big brake kit (4-piston front calipers with Lotus Sport branding, 2-piston rear) featuring a hydraulic handbrake cleanly integrated into the original handbrake setup. - Cooling & Reliability: QED Racing remote 74° aluminium thermostat, adjustable Revotec Spal fan switch, exhaust manifold thermal insulation wrap, long driveshaft heat shield, custom 3D-printed fresh air ducts. - Monitoring & Exhaust: Stack gauges for oil pressure, oil temperature, and water temperature. Sports exhaust with decat pipe (original exhaust and catalytic converter included). Maintenance & Condition: - Recent Servicing: Full timing belt replacement (water pump and rollers), brand-new spark plugs, new air and fuel filters, all-new sensors (temperature, lambda, etc.). Clean French technical inspection (CT OK). - Aesthetic Condition: The bodywork shows its history—carrying genuine hillclimb battle scars / patina. Mechanically sorted and ready to drive immediately. Ideal for a driver who wants to hit the road or track without worrying about cosmetic chips, or serves as an exceptional base for a collection restoration. Note: Not a pristine museum/garage queen—a pure, authentic driver's car. No trades.
