    it's not in mint condition, but I'm not picky as the guy only asks 500€
    And in Belgium, I don't know which other countries have it, we have a "technical controle" that you have to take your car to every year, so if it passes that, you're more or less safe.

    Yes that's Lotus Antwerp (Conickx Motors I think is the real name). Is Bart the owner?

    Yes there's a 340R, as a matter of fact, there's 2! (you can see only one in the picture). The second one is grey too, although there used to be a black one. There's tons of nice cars in that garage! (340R's, Lotus Super Seven S4, Audi RS2, a bunch of Elises, Elan's and Esprits, an Exige, a Plymouth Prowler, Lotus Elan Coupé prototype, and some other nice toys :))

    IF you were Stateside, we'd have you pimped out in no time:

    coffee can muffler;

    blue lights, including underbody neon;

    Type "R" insignia, along with windshield banner that says something like
    "FEAR THIS"

    grotesque wheel covers, with ultra low profile wheels;

    suspension kit, lowered all around, with additional body cladding to make original car look almost unrecognizable;

    wheel spacers, to make the car look like a moon-buggy;

    racing seats, harnesses in bright, day-glo color, aftermarket gauges, carbon fiber dash trim and shifter knob;

    ***in' LOUD stereo with video gaming, porno and camera capabilities ( you won't need navigation, since you wouldn't really drive outside of a 3 mile radius);

    purple-esent sparkley paint, with racing stripes;

    and, of course, the de rigor element, the

    MONSTER WING, to keep the tail down when doing 300kph.


    On second thought, maybe you are better off where you are....

    Good luck.
