Nice S1 spotted for sale!

General General Lotus Talk

Hey All,

If anyone is looking for what seems to be a very good condition S1 to buy, I would suggest visiting Brooklands Motors in Ripley, Surrey! On my morning drive I spotted it! From what I recall: 7000 miles on the clock, 2 owners, full history, NO stone chips as every chippable area on the car has had armor-fending. Colour is rare…an understated turquoise metallic. Air con is fitted and the car has a decent looking sports exhaust , but has yet to have the 190 upgrade…still a 177bhp.

Price is �21,995 but I am sure would be open to negotiation?!!

Hi
I have seen this advertised for a while now(which could mean people have had a closer look and it is not what it seems, i could be very wrong though). It is the aqua colour i belive, which i haven’t seen in real life so don’t really what it is like. the car does sound like a fair price. I am hunting for the right S1 at the min but would prefere orange or yellow. but i have got to get rid of my Focus rs(see for sale section).

Aqua is the colour of Trudy’s old car (& Phil’s current car!). The former is for sale at Lotus Ribble Valley, & you can see a piccie Here

ahh the colour is ok, that dealer is not to far away from me. Is this the car i saw a while ago that had been crashed into the back off?? it presume it only has the leather seats?? Nick whale is advertising a orange s1 for 25K.9000 on the clock, race seats 51 plate. do u think this is well over priced??

No, that was Phil’s.

Nah, I’m all in favour of keeping the price as high as possible

Nath,

If your going to look at Nick Whales, I would also pop into Paul Mattys its only around the corner…virtually

At the moment they have 3 S1 Exiges. Chrome Orange, Black and New Aluminium (Best Colour )
They all looked pretty good when I was there a couple of weeks back but the New Aluminium one looked very good…

Almost as good as mine

Hi,
I have phoned paul matty and they told me it is a 3 owner car, which puts me off at bit,esspecially when the first for 3 years was lotus! it has done 8K and the same price 25K. I have beeen waiting around 3 weeks for paul to get back to me with a P/X for my RS, not the best service. I don’t like black or silver(no offence) why is the silver one’s some much cheeper than say orange,laser blue, yellow.???

I’m not sure, Silver is always supposed to sell well, It is a year older than the Orange though.
Probably no ‘Con air’ either which usually adds a bit.

Theres no pic on the website yet but it looked a tidy car in the showroom.

But it’s got throttle bodies which don’t stick, unlike yours
