I seen that the other day advertised,
It looks really nice, my only question would be why has it done so ittle mileage.

My car has also got very low mileage, but the history shows what the car had been doing, in my case sat in a car showroom, just to go and get this MOT each year, With documentation to prove it.

It would be nice to know it's background of why it's so low.

in saying that, that is a lovely looking car

It obviously had a fair bit spent on it when it was new....... the BBR 'performance kit' was a dealer-fitted option that was approved by Lotus (and kept the warrantee intact).

Unfortunately, it is actually very basic technology that is in 2 parts - a mechanical 'bleed valve' which is adjusted with a screw to vary the vacuum read by the wastegate, together with a 'fuel cut defender' which is a basic electronic circuit to stop the car running too lean when the first bit works! It all needs to be set-up and maintained to keep it safe (to prevent the engine detonating by running lean on overboost), but is surprisingly good (for it's time).

Personally, I'd recommend removal of all the bits involved, and fit an Everest chip together with going closed-loop - but that's just me.

Overall, it looks a good car although I do not know it.
