About this car

This 2015 Lotus Exige S Roadster started life as a standard car, bought new through Bell & Colvill. After 1,000 miles of running in it went to Hangar 111, and its owner has developed it ever since into a serious road-and-track Exige. The dealer says the build cost more than £135k, with over £80k of upgrade invoices on file.

The changes go well beyond cosmetics. There is Komotec 460 power kit, a Komotec lightweight flywheel, clutch, final drive and built gearbox, a Quaife limited-slip differential and bespoke JRZ Series 11 suspension. Safety and track equipment includes a full roll cage with a removable front section for road use, an automatic fire extinguisher system, kill switches and a race battery. Carbon is used extensively, including the hardtop, chassis-mounted wing, splitter and diffuser. Reverie carbon seats, a Komotec big brake kit and a VBOX HD video and lap-timing system complete the spec.

It shows about 5,000 miles and is road registered and legal. The dealer reports regular maintenance, supported track days, recent work at Seriously Lotus costing £15k, and a fresh MOT before sale.
