The chassis number is not right for an S1 - so maybe some typos ?
Should be
SCCGA1113YHC80XXX XXX= the build number so this should be 585 - one of the last
Engine number is I believe a 1.8K VHPD K series
Was this sold by Nick Whale and is it New Ali in colour ? if yes I almost bought this before I went for the black one - scrub that 585 is Laser blue according to the register …
It is laser blue, I am tempted by a purchase, just want to make sure nobody has any reason not to buy as I won’t be able to view it before I commit.
Yep helped a bunch 
Looks like a nice car from the photos 
Well let’s hope there is no bad history, it doesn’t seem like it so far…
Ade the ad says midlothian so maybe worth trying Murray for some background?
Hi Ade,
Sound great!
I have a weird recollection about that car… was it from Nick Whale in Bromsgrove? If so, IIRA, Paul Matty had it in for an inspection and I think??? they said it had some damage???
Mate, give PM a call and just ask ok… I may be totally off the memory ball here (quite likely now at my age!) but just want to make certain! I am sure they will remember the car if it is that one…
Cheers,
Pete
The Chassis No seems fine to me:
SCC we all know
G = 1.8 K16 engine
A = Active Belts
111 we all know
7 = check digit
1 = 2001
H = Hethel
F = SVA RHD car
8 = Exige
Last 4 = Build No
That all fits well enough? And it’s a great colour!
Or am I missing something?
I know the car, also it’s present and previous owner.
Hi Guys
Its my car - any questions ask away.
Murrays have just serviced the car and done a pre-sale check on it 2 weeks ago, so rest assured all is well with it from what they’ve told me. Craig the service manager told me it was the best sorted S1 Exige they’d seen in a good while.
I’ve got a GT3 and my name down for a Gt4, so my Exige just isn’t seeing any use at all at the moment, and I’m about to build a Honda’d Elise, so this is the one to go.
Welcome to email me
