I feel a little bad posting in the new members section, as I've been lurking on the boards since 2009. I've wanted to own one since playing Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 and researching (mooning over) the real car shortly afterwards, in all honesty it's always been something of a pipe dream, a random fantasy I was unlikely to be able to fulfill... not least because I don't actually have a full driving license - I've been on a provisional for a number of years, but I've always lived in places with good public transport links and found more interesting things to spend my money on than lessons. But recently, I came into a little bit of money via an inheritance, and finally found myself in a position where I could realise my dreams. So last Saturday I went to view a gorgeous little SE in my perfect NMY, armed with the buyers notes from LEC I combed every inch of the car for defects, and came away with this -
I parted with £7,800 for a 1991 SE with 68,000 on the clock (and £200 to have it delivered). It's in pretty fantastic condition, but with just a few marks of its age (1 small stone chip on the bonnet, slightly perished seals - but still water tight, 1 chip in the drivers side door), and I am head over heels in love with it.
It's not a car I've seen referenced on LEC before, but if anyone is aware of it, I'd love to hear anything that is known about it in the community. I have no doubt I'll back back in the various owners sections with questions in the near future, but for now I need to start looking for an intensive driving course (now I finally have something I really want to drive).
