This Lotus Exige S Roadster is a handsomely specified example of the Hethel-based marque’s thrilling open-top sports car, presented in an eye-catching colour scheme. It is powered by a mid-mounted supercharged 3.5-litre V6 engine which sends 345bhp to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. The odometer indicates just 49,910km from new. This car features several choice upgrades including a carbon-fibre rear wing and lightweight alloy wheels. This Exige S is finished in the alluring hue of Nightfall Blue, over a dark brown quilted leather-trimmed interior finished with simple milled aluminium switches. The car is fitted with a Simply Sports Cars carbon-fibre wing. The wheels have been replaced by 18-inch lightweight Team Dynamics racing wheels and the roof with a non-standard hard top, though the factory-fitted alloy wheels and soft top are also included within the sale of the car. The car also features an upgraded sports exhaust system and a pod air intake, as well as a fire extinguisher and uprated four-point racing harnesses. It will be supplied with the original service booklet and user manuals, a raft of maintenance invoices, and the factory toolkit. The car’s cherished plate ‘A7H’ is not included in the sale. There is no impact damage present on the bodywork. The Nightfall Blue paintwork is in generally very good condition, showing some minor signs of wear such as stone chips and small marks on the front clam, commensurate with the car’s age and mileage. The vendor also notes that there is a blemish on the passenger side skirt. Inside, the cabin presents well, with some creasing on the brown quilted leather sport seats, but with no major wear or heavy discolouration, though the vendor notes that the trim on the dash is lifting slightly. There are no known faults with the car, and no warning lights are showing on the dashboard. The vendor reports that the vehicle’s last roadworthiness inspection was carried out in February 2020, where the only advisory was for worn tyres, which have since been replaced. This Exige S Roadster’s latest service was carried out in October 2021, with work including an engine oil and filter change, along with the replacement of the spark plugs, engine mounts and gearbox fluid. Prior to this, in December 2020 the supercharger bracket and drive belt, idler mounting bracket, and right-hand engine mount insulator were all replaced. At the same time, the front brakes were fitted with upgraded two-piece rotors. The vendor reports that the oil was changed every two months during their ownership, regardless of mileage, but that this is not documented.
