Looked at both of those, the Black one (why 45 wheels, seats and MK1 grill??) I inquired about (same seller) but no way of getting there myself and they want over £300 to deliver! (Makes the Green one over a grand and thus too expensive for what it is!)

(I live on the south coast BTW)

To be fair, the black one at £395 + £300 delivery + £145 Tax + whatever for the MOT, makes that car cost over £840 in the state it is in, with no guarantee its mechanically sound and won't cost stupid amounts for the MOT...
The Green one is £695 + £300 delivery + £145 Tax = £1140 Which is more tempting, but still more than I was hoping to pay!

Just a word of caution on these two, both have been Taxi's in and around the West Yorkshire area. If you want Sam I can always have a look round them if you want to give either a punt.

Thats the one that he wants £2.5k for in the quite modified state? Nice car, but budget doesn't quite stretch to that...

You got something yet ?

Yes, I picked up an 05 plate Proton Impian, with 41000 miles on the clock:

I do think the previous owner was a bit optimistic in his choice of keyring though!!

The car itself isn't in too bad condition, but does need a bit of TLC... Its a 1.6 Mitsubishi engine, so apparently should be reliable and frugal on the go go juice.

If it does the job for you mate - all's good.

As far as Lotus is concerned, I'm fairly sure that Lotus had quite a bit of involvement with Proton a few years ago. The Satria GTi suspension was engineered by them if I remember correctly and was well thought of. Bolt on bodykit and decent recaro seats too.
