I’ve been looking for an Exige S1 with no rust for a long time (hard to believe with a 13 years old Lotus but I found one ! Yes no rust on the wishbones, no rust in the engine bay area, my car has never seen the rain and has never been driven on salted UK road ! and this car has never been accidented of course.
Full service history. Original LHD. 22 000 Kms. Some very and unique options (3 parts BBS wheels, dampers to open the engine cover…)
after that I worked hours and hours on this car to make it perfect. Here is the result now (almost finished has I have to work on the interior) but today was a sunny day so I took this opportunity to take some pictures.
Be interesting to see that info. Seeing as the roof is held on by 2 very small clips at the rear, sandwiches the front screen surround and then sits on the rear roll bar, I’m struggling to see the improvement in chassis stiffness. Body work I can see being stiffer though.
If I were an Elise owner, I would be slightly concerned if this turns out to be true!!
