srf86

Hello - the car is registered on a Michigan title as a 2004 Lotus SPCNS. Not sure what those letters designate. The wheels are Panasport 7 x 15 on a 100mm bolt circle, 205/50 - 15 and 195/50 - 15. The car includes the full convertible top plus a tonneau cover. Thanks for your interest!

Still looking for a good home - back on the market now that Covid seems to be receding from this area. The offending fuel line has been replaced and she is ready to be enjoyed. The photos really don't do justice to the finer details of this car, such as the blue tinted gelcoat that highlights the fiberglass weave in the fenders. Price reduced to $21,900 but will entertain all reasonable offers. Gordon

Thanks everyone! I had no idea "OBO" could generate such a lively discussion! But, then again, I'm just an engineer - not a lawyer (sorry - couldn't help stirring the pot further) Gordon

8-9-19: Last week I was rudely reminded of how modern gasoline and 15 year old braided stainless fuel lines don’t play well together. I was exercising the Birkin when I noticed a strong odor of gasoline, concurrent with a stream of fuel spurting from a pinhole in the injector feed hose. Fortunately I was able to switch off before anything worse happened. Was I ever glad I’d decided to leave the bonnet off for this short run! I was lucky this time but it’s apparent that the car needs all the fuel hoses replaced. I simply don’t have the time and I really need to open up some space in the shop. To that end, I’m reducing the price to $22,900 OBO. This represents a great opportunity for someone who’s willing to invest some sweat equity to have a super clean car. Thanks for looking!

Hi Fred - yes, the car is still available. Thanks for your interest! Gordon

Just outside of Tecumseh. We can hear the cars at MIS if the wind is right:driving:

Hi folks, I am locking this thread and replacing it with a new one. The car was initially listed for sale 3 years ago, but unfortunately the thread quickly got off topic. Subsequently the car was pulled from the market due to a combination of a fuel line issue and impact from COVID. Given srf86 is once again selling the car and has addressed the fuel line issue he identified below, it seems a fairer approach to both him and potential buyers to create a new thread without the irrelevant-to-the-sale baggage that consumes most of the first page. That new thread will be up soon and this one will remain viewable in case anyone is interested in learning more about the term "OBO" or lawyers. I will update this message with the link when I have it. Thanks, JohnCh Dunnell tuned 175bhp fuel injected Zetec 33,600 miles California emissions approval This car needs a home with someone who has time to enjoy it!
