Faults:

Nothing, but all recalls done, which is very important: Timing chain, ABS-unit, wheels (look for HT mark on the back of wheels), seat rails, vacuum hose of power brakes.

General Comments:

Very fast, built by Lotus... same chassis, same front window, but the rest is more or less different. Look for "type 116" by Lotus. Better than the Lotus Elise in my opinion. Strong 2.2 Ecotec 150 BHP. Easy to tune to 180-250 BHP, although not done on mine. Bargain, but becoming rare in a couple of years... only 7.000 made, and a lot total losses.

Very good handling, but Nitrons absolutely required when driving real fast. Lotuses could do with them the same, so no Speedster issue.

Lotus handling for Opel prices... beautiful car too.
