Superformance S1 information

[Canadian 7]

Does anyone here know anything about this Superformance S1 that is for sale on Lotus Talk? I am trying to trace back to the original owner to see when it was first titled.

I did a search by "2002 Superformance" and pulled up a few S1s but not your one in question.

 

However, there is a search hit within the Ebay/Craigslist thread in the For Sale forum but at 1524 posts I cannot work out how to zoom to just that post?

 

I did find the S1 manual in case you are interested:

However, on a 2009 thread I found reference to an S1 Forum, however the website is defunct. The poster was S1Steve who is a very long term owner and still around, just not frequent on these forums. I just pinged him a text to ask him to check on this thread in case he has any data.

 

You may want to see if Superformance can provide you any history. They have a phone number - just not that good at returning calls.

Post from our own site on the sale/purchase of this car:

Of course if you look at the origin of post 1525 in the long running "look what I found on the web" for sale thread of Croc's, you'll notice the innocent "look what I found" post by "Driven" Two sites for SPF owners, really geared towards the Cobra replicas, but they do have a knowledge base for the S1 owners buried deep within. Sadly, they have changed their format over the years, so you have to own a SPF before you can join and see within their private forums.

There is also a SPF subforum on Clubcobra, again, really geared towards the roadsters/coupes.

Thank you for the responses.

Yes it is hard to access any of “their” forums unless you own one!

Driven’s post is where i saw the ad originally but i didnt realize it was his (wife’s) car.

 

i have wanted a S1 for many years and told myself i would bring one in to Canada as soon as they are 15 years old. Just hard to find one that has the original title since i need to prove it was completed and titled 15 years ago to the month!

i will continue to dig for info on this one.

The person selling it sent me some paperwork: it was imported by Dynamic Motorsports in Ohio originally and sold to a person in Bloomington Illinois in June 2004. Hopefully he finished it and had it on the road within 6 months.

I'm from the early days of the web, where I used to see such posts marked "Look at this cool car I found for sale, what a great deal" , 99% of the time being posted by the seller :banghead:
