Hi and welcome along JCM. Nice to hear of another lucky person of my age with an M100. I bought mine when I was 21 and have loved it ever since, won't be getting rid of it for a long long time lol. Hopefully see you at a meet one day, join up with the Lotus Drivers Club and start enjoying the Lotus community ... it's one of the best and friendliest in the Country. Happy motoring :D

£2,000 for a 51k runner that isn't Cat D or C?

That's not just a 'good buy' or a 'Billy Bargain" - it's a 'Stevie Steal' - and I speak as the remowned price pessimist on LEC. That's got to be the best buy of the year so far.

Congratulations on your good taste and good fortune, enjoy the car.

Hmmmm... I like my post! I can't for the life of me remember writing it though.
Damn that Australian jet lag!

Ha, ha... Nice one who ever changed my post. Jackonicko and I had a bet it would be gone by 6.30pm.
I thought the original was inspired though!

Now that really IS a good question. Which company even agreed to insure a 22 year old on what is a supercar?
