The interior looks like somebody could claim only 10,000 miles and they'd be believed.

Looks in fantastic condition.

Now, are you going to fill the gap and get an S2?

[mayevora]

Both leather and carpet look in pretty good condition Paul. Is the outside as Ok or, being red, has it the usuial paint fade?

NIce one Paul, cant wait to see more? Is it Road legal?

Wow - looks to be in great shape. Somebody obviously took care of it. Was the PO the original owner or has the car changed hands several times?

Hokey dokey,today put the battery on cranked the engine over by hand to check the cam belt,and was amazed to see how clean it was at the front of the engine.Powered her up everything working lights,horn indicators ect.Fuel pump contacts stuck so I have cranked her over to get the oil round ,

I have question for S3 owners,Firstly there seem to be foot well sensors each side are the immobilisers?? Secondly there is a switch just under the steering wheel ,it looks factory fitted .What does it do. Thanks Paul G.

Pics of the items would be good, but maybe worth a seperate post in G technical. I cannot think of any switch under my steering column, nor any sensors in teh footwell on my S3.

Great looking interior - and the Original radio - WOW I want that !!

Glad you to have a switch under the steering wheel - Mine also has this - it

At last - an answer to the mystery switch question. Mine has the letter L to the left and R to the right and at first I imagined that with the S3 Lotus had done away with the balance pipe and had separate tank selection like the SI - SIII XJ Jaguars. But what do the L and R stand for? Lift and Retract or Lower and Raise?

Were probably using up old electric mirror selector switches for the adjuster so the L and R mean nothing. Pure speculation, of course.

And this one Chris.
