The car is described as an exceptionally low mileage example with just two owners from new and a comprehensive Lotus service history.

All body parts are said to be original, including undamaged wheels; the only exception is the SE rear spoiler which was added by the previous owner. Time deteriorating parts have previously been replaced. Therefore, I rated it as Excellent.
