Had to be an S3. Never considered anything else.Upgrades: Blue Flame stainless exhaust system - not fitted when pics were taken. Looks totally original but sounds beautiful with an intoxicating crackle on the overrun. Non original gearknob which I intend to change.Problems: Bonnet hinge detached due to tired glass fibre. 300 quid for new bonnet so I repaired the old one. Time will tell how good my GRP skills are.Info: One of the very last S3's built. Has the HC engine and rake adjustable seats. I have Lotus paperwork confirming only 20 more were built after mine.
