DESCRIPTION
The Lotus 340R was introduced by Lotus in 2000 as a limited edition unique Elise based sports car for the track, but eligible also for use on the road. It received a fantastic national and specialist press at the time, rewriting the levels of performance and road holding for a standard road car at the time. Limited to just 340 units globally, it showcased Lotus's engineering prowess and all cars were sold out within a month of launch.
This car was first registered in September 2001 and has covered just 11,000 miles from new with 4 owners. It has benefitted from a 190bhp engine upgrade and is a VHPD engine with oil cooler fitted and a full service history.
Additionally it has 4 point harnesses, carbon wings, cross drilled discs, adjustable shock absorbers, stainless steel exhaust and rare 'Tecnomagnesio' wheels.
Now ready for the Summer, it offers a rare chance to enjoy Lotus open top motoring with a highly collectable and appreciating modern classic.
