Help needed with buying a M100

Postby Charentebob » Wed 25.01.2023, 16:10

Hi

I’m not a Lotus owner yet but interested in buying a 1991 M100 near Middlesborough but as I live in France it’s a long way to come to view.

Would any member of this group living near Middlesborough be prepared to go and take a look at it for me. I’d be prepared to pay travelling costs.

Please PM me if you could do this and I’ll send full details of the car and seller.

Hi Nigel, welcome to LEC.

Having seen your post on Facebook, I've approved your initial post, so you are now also able to PM members on here, should you need/wish to.

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Depends on the price, condition and mileage!

Not the cheapest on the market, that’s for sure ;-)

To be fair. The blue one youre looking at, although very nice it is is top money for an SE. Plus its a dealer sale so he wants some profit. Its really worth considering one for sale from a long standing and obviously keen/knowledgable member on here.
Very unlikely to do you a disservice and much more likely to be honest about what they are selling.

There is a member on here who lives up that way and has numerous Elans - he is far more active on Facebook group than he is on here. I don't know if the car being talked about is from him or not, as I don't know the seller details or advert.
