Chaps,
I have some information for anyone considering this car, it’s all good, it’s my old car which I traded in at Hoffmans’s for my 400 in May 2020, I had it for 2 enjoyable years.
When in my ownership I would say it was probably one of the best N/A’s available, when I traded it in of course.The only thing I would note is that the rear has been debadged for some reason ?
I fitted the carbon door handles which IMO lift the cabin nicely, in fact having moved house recently I found the originals which anyone on here can have if you want them.
One thing that isn’t mentioned (I’m sure the invoice was with the paperwork) however is that I had focal speakers and dynamite type soundproofing installed, and it did indeed prove a significant improvement over the sound of the standard set up even keeping the standard Head unit.
I also had the wheels refurbished just prior to me swapping.
Reading this back sounds like I have an interest in the car now but I assure you I haven’t, just thought I’d contribute to the great forum we have by giving as much information as possible. Pretty sure the current owner isn’t on here. The sold as seen seems strange at a Lotus dealer to me, I think quite a few of Lotus Silverstone cars are sale or return and expect they come with a warranty.
It’s top end pricing and is significantly more than when I swapped, but the 400’s have increased quite a bit as well.
Hope this helps someone.
Cheers,
Phill
