Backmarker 6 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Having obtained permission from the powers-that-be (Bibs), I want to post advance notice of the intended sale of my S3 Turbo. Kato is on his hols this week so it won't appear on LEW until probably Sunday.

Backmarker 6 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Thanks Howard. I don't change socks that often, true. I think I've a lot to learn Mike, so please be gentle with me.

Backmarker 6 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Guys, I've received this e-mail today purportedly from a chap in the USA. Does anyone know of him and whether the enquiry is genuine. I don't mind releasing the vin number if its for genuine purpose Hi, I am in the States and just wondering what the serial number is on this one. I am trying to figure out where your car fits in the registry. Many Thanks, I also called Club Lotus today to get the car in the "For Sale" section at Donington. Apparently the closing date has now passed (query "what closing date") so I'll have to park in the car park with a board in the windscreen Graham.

Backmarker 6 Posted March 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 SOLD............... :crybaby: Mixed emotions. Always wanted an S3 Turbo and have no regrets in owning one. It was great fun.

Tentenths 1 Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 SOLD............... :crybaby: Blimey, that was quick Graham! Mind you, can't say I'm altogether surprised - one peach of a car Sold to anyone we know? James Quote Link to post Share on other sites

James James, Yes the guy does use the Forum but only rarely. He has an Elan, a 7 and a V8 Esprit in his collection so doesn't really have that much time. I'm more comfortable knowing it has gone to a good home. He's taking it Donington on the Sunday. The guys name is Paul Lister and lives out in Retford. Credit alas must go to LEW rather than LEF. Technically sold within 12 hours of appearing on LEW although not collected until today. Graham.
