The car was supplied to me this year and the race install has just all been done by Lotus Motorsport, hasnt turned a lick since it has been converted (the car is pretty much imaculate), new hrness belts, new extinuigher etc etc so everything with maximium dates on…
This is not my grey 111r btw, it is the sister car - a silver one…

Pm if interested before i advertise it!

There is a reason why they are cheap!
…300bhp sounds nice until the gearbox goes bang which is inevitable
