This car was built by Christopher Neil Cars (Lotus Dealer at the time) in 1983 from original lotus parts. It is registered as a CN Sprint and has chassis number CN0101. This was their first car and built by them to promote the kit. It appeared in magazines at the time for promotion. Body parts, chassis and many components were from Lotus.
Originally fitted with a XR3 engine but now has a 2000cc Zetec. It's reliable and very quick in this light car. In 2019 I fitted Tony Thompson fast road suspension front and rear. New battery last year. Nov 2023 MOT. The vinyl hood is in good condition. I have lots of previous receipts and history.
The speedo has just stopped working and is showing 6848 miles but that won't be correct. There's lot's of old MOT's so it might be possible to calculate the correct mileage.
