A one owner from new - 7,000 mile Lotus 340R Built by Lotus in 2000 as the ultimate track-day car, the 340R is a special edition based on the Lotus Elise and uses the Elise's bonded aluminium mid-engined chassis, basic running gear, and the 1.8litre Rover 'K' Series in its 177bhp form.

Performance was exceptional with 0-60mph in just over 4 seconds and 100mph arriving in 10.7 seconds.

Just 340 were built sharing the same silver and black colour scheme and all were sold before manufacture.

Despite looking like a dedicated track day special, a role at which it excels, it's fully road legal and delivers a level of ride comfort totally unexpected in such a performance-focused car.

This local Midlands car was supplied new to its one and only owner, a valued Silverstone Auctions client, in 2000 and has covered just 7,200 miles since.

It was fitted from new with the 190 BHP factory engine conversion and upgrade but is otherwise in totally original factory specification.
