Regretful Sale - Lotus Exige S Touring - Starlight Black - 12,600 Miles
A genuinely regretful sale of my recently acquired Lotus Exige S Touring in stunning Starlight Black.
I bought this car believing it would be the perfect companion for a European road trip following my last adventure in my Porsche Cayman GTS. Unfortunately, my better half finds the Exige incredibly uncomfortable and uncompromising, and with very limited luggage space, her hair straighteners, several pairs of shoes and a dozen outfits simply aren't going to fit! So, with great reluctance, it has to make way.
This is a 3-owner car, with the first owner keeping it for 14 years, which speaks volumes about how cherished it has been.
The car has covered just 12,600 miles from new and comes with:
Touring Pack
Fully working air conditioning
Full book pack
Folder full of invoices and receipts
Previous V5 logbooks showing keeper history
7 Lotus service stamps despite the exceptionally low mileage
During my ownership the following has been completed:
4 new Yokohama Advan tyres
New front and rear brakes
Fresh engine oil and filter
The car has also benefitted from all the important maintenance that these cars require, including:
New heat shields
Replacement near-side and off-side oil coolers and hoses
New air conditioning compressor and system recharge
New drive belt
Gearbox oil change
So there's no significant expenditure on the horizon.
This is a wonderfully original, standard example. It even came to me wearing its original 14-year-old Continental SportContact tyres with around 5mm of tread remaining, which perfectly demonstrates the gentle life this car has enjoyed rather than being used as a track car.
It has just passed a fresh MOT with no advisories, and the MOT history is consistently clean.
The Starlight Black paintwork polishes beautifully, with the metallic fleck really coming alive in the sunshine. Inside, although minimalist as intended, the cabin feels remarkably fresh, featuring:
Leather bucket seats
Air conditioning
Alpine stereo
Electric windows
Being a late 2009 model, this is the desirable facelift version, benefiting from the updated rear spoiler, front splitter and various detail improvements.
As shown in the photographs, the suspension components and undertrays are exceptionally clean, reflecting the fair-weather use the car has enjoyed throughout its life.
Included:
Registration plate (which really suits the car)
12,600 miles
Full MOT
Full book pack
HPI clear (copy available)

"description": "Regretful Sale - Lotus Exige S Touring - Starlight Black - 12,600 Miles\nA genuinely regretful sale of my recently acquired Lotus Exige S Touring in stunning Starlight Black.\nI bought this car believing it would be the perfect companion for a European road trip following my last adventure in my Porsche Cayman GTS. Unfortunately, my better half finds the Exige incredibly uncomfortable and uncompromising, and with very limited luggage space, her hair straighteners, several pairs of shoes and a dozen outfits simply aren't going to fit! So, with great reluctance, it has to make way.\nThis is a 3-owner car, with the first owner keeping it for 14 years, which speaks volumes about how cherished it has been.\nThe car has covered just 12,600 miles from new and comes with:\nTouring Pack\nFully working air conditioning\nFull book pack\nFolder full of invoices and receipts\nPrevious V5 logbooks showing keeper history\n7 Lotus service stamps despite the exceptionally low mileage\nDuring my ownership the following has been completed:\n4 new Yokohama Advan tyres\nNew front and rear brakes\nFresh engine oil and filter\nThe car has also benefitted from all the important maintenance that these cars require, including:\nNew heat shields\nReplacement near-side and off-side oil coolers and hoses\nNew air conditioning compressor and system recharge\nNew drive belt\nGearbox oil change\nSo there's no significant expenditure on the horizon.\nThis is a wonderfully original, standard example. It even came to me wearing its original 14-year-old Continental SportContact tyres with around 5mm of tread remaining, which perfectly demonstrates the gentle life this car has enjoyed rather than being used as a track car.\nIt has just passed a fresh MOT with no advisories, and the MOT history is consistently clean.\nThe Starlight Black paintwork polishes beautifully, with the metallic fleck really coming alive in the sunshine. Inside, although minimalist as intended, the cabin feels remarkably fresh, featuring:\nLeather bucket seats\nAir conditioning\nAlpine stereo\nElectric windows\nBeing a late 2009 model, this is the desirable facelift version, benefiting from the updated rear spoiler, front splitter and various detail improvements.\nAs shown in the photographs, the suspension components and undertrays are exceptionally clean, reflecting the fair-weather use the car has enjoyed throughout its life.\nIncluded:\nRegistration plate (which really suits the car)\n12,600 miles\nFull MOT\nFull book pack\nHPI clear (copy available)",
