so after a few crap weeks of crashing the zed and dealing with insurance and accounts and solicitors and 2 classic car experts i got a good insurance pay out and with all parts sold to i did ok the insurance were really good and helped me out even though i didnt have a agreed value on the car the thats were the classic car value experts came in said the car should have been insured for £25.000 to £30.000 so after a long 2 weeks of the insurance payed me a good sum i then bought the car back stipped it sold the lot then my accountant had a look over it and it was good to go. so i went back to lotus elises s2 111r 12k on the clock FSH with touring pack and proback seats hard top and soft top a rare car indeed the r cost twice as much as a stock s2 . am going to super charge the car but am starting with sport cat intake a rear system and ecu reflash it will be getting super charged after exmas with a charge cooler to. the car is a r so at 6000rpm a 2nd carm takes over and the car roars like i lion its 4.8 to 60mph at 189bhp the car only weights 800kg so lot less than 1 ton after its charged it will be 285bhp with a 0 to 60 of 3.5 secs here is a few pics and will update as i go with the build. sad to see the zed go but am back am going to do a build on here as am sure people will like to see is as i work on it

Didn't think you cared so much about their values.....see it is important. ;)

i didnt care as you know but all i can say now is make sure you all have agreed insurance i didnt but i was lucky they send 2 speclists out or i would have lost out big time

....and that's one of the points I made - you need to know as you need to know for insurance purposes. ;) :)

 

Nice Elise by the way, not really my thing, but they are a hoot to drive. :)

really at the time i just liked the z if i was worth £1000 or £40000 but i wont do this again i have agreed value on the lotus right away

Enjoy it mate, watch out for them leaves :lol:

 

Sorry, maybe that was too soon.

lol i will wait for a dry day i drove the car back in the rain from essex no probs atall al the last part of the run i gave it some stick it just puts the power down it really nice dont forget i used to own a s1 so i know how they handle just unreal here is the s1 i had many years ago

 

Dan, I am now green with envy...or yellow in the case.

 

Would love one of them but my Mrs would gut me like a fish if I put one of them in the garage

Looks like a serious machine there Dan. Out of curiosity, who was your Z insured with that valued it at 25-30k?
