Idly keeping an eye on this, as I expect the owner is going to take a bath click

The GT430 is "peak Evora" and they weren't cheap, and this owner poured around €44k into it less than a year ago upgrading to approx 620bhp....

Standard 430’s command £80-90k, so the new owner got a bit of a bargain here at £86k plus fees. They are on the Lotus Forum - currently own an Evora 410 (also a very nice car).&

Amazingly clean for the age & mileage but what's it used for ? Ping pong balls ? I'm sure it wouldn't have the payload for sand or rubble etc.

I believe they can carry a payload upto 370kg. Which isn't huge, but then - neither are they :lol:

4WD too. 8-)

The tipper bit looks fairly substantial. A basic garden petrol wheelbarrow will do 300kg so I wonder if it can do a good tonne plus which will be fine if using it off the road for landscaping purposes and moving soil etc.
How about not having a sig at all?

I'm guessing it's a Kei truck (limited dimensions and engine size for tax/congestion purposes) and someone wanted a light tipper variant. And then someone built it.

For bombing around tight city streets with building detritus in it, I imagine it'd be pretty handy.

Looks & sounds nice. Long service history gap but solid MOTs and not many miles covered - like most of mine :D

The "no expense spared" seems questionable when it is sitting on a mix of cheap/midrange tyres. Falken can be okay, Churchill not so much.

Still, have you bought it yet?
