Title: Long shot - does anyone have my old car? GU54 LXY
Post by: Stifler on August 14, 2016, 07:36
Hey all,

I've just sold my Lotus to free up some funds for a property purchase.  However I still need something on the drive that's fun!

I was wondering if anyone knew where my old 2 is and if they'd be willing to sell?!

Thanks  s:) :) s:)

Hopefully you have a different experience but don't get your heart set on it! I sold a 200sx and tried finding it a few years later...it had been used, abused and was a right dog by then!

Sad to see time, money and effort gone....

Well, if it helps, it passed its MOT in April with no advisories with just under 80k on the clock so there's a strong possibility that it is still going strong and being looked after?  s:D :D s:D

I had checked the mot history, glad to see it's still going!  I spent a lot of time and money on that car would love to have it back but I suppose half the fun is doing the upgrades!

A family friend might be selling theirs so will go and see it at the weekend  s:) :) s:)

Holy thread revival batman!

If anyone knows where this car is i'd be interested to hear!  Happily drop a 2zz in her... mind you it's been a while, it might be beaten to death by now!

I did check the MOT and it's almost in the 100K club but at least it's still going!

I keep looking at the black swapped 2zz in the classifieds but it's out of budget atm!

I've never seen/heard of it locally. 
Don't think I will anytime soon :)

Shame, it really was a cracker.  If I had my time again I'd have kept it and dropped a k20 in!
