Vehicle Details
2017 Lotus 3-Eleven3165 miles."Road Version" 6-spd manual gearbox, mirrors, lights, signals, horn etc.Same engine and transmission package found in the 2017 and newer Evora/Emira with gear box cooler, edelbrock supercharger etc.Clear title in hand, no liens.Regular 17 digit vin number on the car.Hagerty claimed value insurance currently on the car and there is no problem insuring it through them.While these are NOT federally street legal and I dont condone it, there are work arounds but it still doesn't make it without obvious inherent risk.Will consider trades for sports cars/exotics + cash on your end. Rated at about 415hp for the road version and this car had an original msrp north of $130k.To my knowledge there are 9 Lotus 3-Eleven's in the US.Of those, 4 or 5 are Road versions and 4 or 5 are race versions and 1 430 version.All seemed to have slightly different specs between them with paint color and other small build options.This car came from Lotus of Bellevue, was sold to a gentleman in CA who tracked it it some and put about 2100 miles on it.It was then sold at Mecum auction to a collector in FL who received it off the transport truck, drove it around his warehouse and parked it.I purchased the car from him last year did a full checkover, prep and have done some improvements. I have driven it the another 1000 miles roughly.The car has run perfectly during my ownership, never had any failures, issues, off track excursions etc. It keeps pace with 992 GT3RS's and similar at Spring Mountain driving it at about 8/10. The best part is nobody knows what the heck it is! Everyone asks about it and they are blown away with its performance.Cosmetically the car is about a 9/10. A few marks here and there from normal use and two very small little little cracks in the paint near the front wheel arch. The front splitter has scraped on the bottom from hard, sharp corner entry but they are designed to wear like that as they are painted wood. The seats are almost like new since I ran Tillett's in it during my usage but have since removed them and reinstalled the stock seats.Just recently when doing a monthly warm up and drive around the neighborhood to circulate the fluids it has developed an issue with shifting into 1st gear from a standstill. All other gears are 100% fine, just 1st gear doesnt want to stay engaged all the time. Downshifting into 1st from 2nd is fine and it drives in 1st once engaged just fine as well. Talking with some guys who have worked extensively on these transmissions they believe it is a "Shift fork pad failure". This is something that isnt due to abuse but more of a freak failure that happens on these transmissions sometimes. MWR has heavy duty replacement fork pads for $125 or so. Its a cheap fix as far as parts go but a good amount of labor.I understand its not ideal to sell a car as-is like this but I dont currently have the bandwidth to take care of it here. We are currently working on moving/expanding and just insanely busy which has also prompted the sale. I dont have as much time for it and dont foresee having the time for it anytime soon so we would like to move on and put the funds back into the business elsewhere with our expansion and move.I have priced the car with the repair in mind but I am open to reasonable, serious offers.I may also consider trades for a "street car" + cash on your end.Serious inquires only please.More pictures/video upon request for interested parties.Some mods/included items -Full Xpel PPF on Entire CarDivine Handcraft LOTUS Decal on WingQuick release steering wheel w/NRG hub setup.
