Has anybody viewed this car ? A newly joined member wishes to go and view it with some help.

Thought it might have been viewed already by somebody ?

Thankyou Simonbuk. Much appreciated. I like your black M100. Very Nice.
Looking forward to becoming a Lotus Elan M100 Owner.

I'm not far from Lough - I haven't looked at the car in question (I've already got one !) But I'm happy to go along and help view.
My car is in getting a respray so if you want to do the turn up in an elan trick you might have to wait a few days!

£9,995 for that ????

78k miles but MOT History doesn't look clever ... too many Advisory Notes that indicates needs even more money soon, unless they've been done of course, but unlikely...

MOT History
Mileage recorded at test, parts failed or had minor problems


Date tested 15 June 2017 PASS
Mileage 78,682 miles MOT test number 6888 2007 8119
Test location unavailable until further notice
Expiry date 14 June 2018
Advisory notice item(s)
Windscreen has damage to an area less than a 10mm circle within zone 'A' (8.3.1a)
Offside Front Outer Front constant velocity joint gaiter deteriorated, but preventing the ingress of dirt (2.5.C.1a)
Oil leak ()
Advise rear exhaust hanger insecure
Advise both front inner tyres starting to wear & slightly perished
Advise offside rear tyre perished between tread
Nearside Rear wheel bearing has slight play (2.6.2)

and the "how little use this car has had being with its last lady owner for 18 years " is NOT a USP!
Bought my second SE, now on SORN, in 2000 with 34K miles and 3 previous owners, all ladies from the same family. (Mum, the eldest daughter, then younger daughter.) Mainly used in NW London it had all the problems due to lack of 'energetic use' - sticky wastegate, rusty rear discs etc... and was very temperamental for 1 week of every month ... (Only joking Katherine ) but it took me some time to blow the cobwebs out!

Hi there, just noticed your message. I am going to look at it tomorrow morning with an enthusiast. I am going via Lincoln near Damon's to drive up with him. You r very welcome but guess it's late notice. Meeting at his house at 9am. Ps I do like the colour of your car. Very Nice.

Hiya buddy. Yep done the research. Much appreciated. I have a mob app and it ties up with all your remarks. Definately not worth anywhere near what its advertised at. Going to need work for sure. Body looks good. How much do u think its worth. Looking at it tomorrow.
Cheers, John.
