+2's For Sale!

[Jason1]

I have just discovered SIX +2's for sale on Kelkoo

http://shopping.kelkoo.co.uk/ctl/do/sea ... m=true&y=8

I have used this site for buying household goods but did not know they advertised cars

The prices are a bit high but a nice selection. There is a nice looking JPS model. They do look very nice with a bit of sunshine on them

Have a look if you need a +2 and have big money to spend

Nice to see prices a bit nearer what they should be for such a great classic!

It looks like all these cars are for sale from a company called UK Sports Cars in Kent. Has anyone dealt with them?

[john.p.clegg]

Hi everyone and yep, they certainly look like UKS prices.

The ads have been entered by Classic & Sportscar Magazine and that's the number which accompanies them.

I haven't seen these vehicles on the current UKS website yet but some of the backgrounds look familiar.

It's just kelkoo doing a web search, Classic and sportscar haven't updated their sales pages for ages and these ads are quite old now, and yes, they are UKS

[Si_130/5]

Today the ads are opening with the UKS name and number all over them whereas yesterday there was nothing.

Does anyone have something good to say about UKS?

I don't think I will be buying anything from them anytime soon

It just goes to show it is worth doing a google search on dealers if you are looking to spend several thousands of pounds on a car and reputation is everything

...but don't forget, any lousy dealer can have (occasionally) a nice car and chances are they won't even know it. Be a smart shopper, if you find a proper car reasonably priced, buy it. Use a knowledgeable friend and info from Elan.net archives to help define the scam artists if you're not mechanically inclined...

That's true. The last +2S produced, a white one, was also on one of these ads, and that's a lovely car, I nearly bought it from the PO in Belgium last summer for about ?6200. it's now for sale at ?9995.......... Quite a good mark-up as they probably haven't touched it. (which would be a good thing in this case.....

This car, the last one produced was advertised on these boards a while ago. Can't find it now (the search function has been changed - it's now less specific, giving loads of results to trawl through )

UKS sent me some pics of it, if anyone would like to see them

It was a bit of a strange scenario, as it was advertised at UKS, but also advertised at the same time in Club Lotus mag by the owner in Belgium. I assume it was UKS acting as a intemediary.

It went to show how little UKS new about the car as they advertised it as a 4 speed when, in fact, it is a 130/5. (It just has a 4 speed gaitor).

It looked very nice but I was worried about the fact that it didn't have the fog light pods, which made me wonder if it had had a front end replacement with an earlier, non S/130, moulding. Some interior bits were missing too, although nothing major.

It was advertised a lot for a long time, so the owner must have had trouble selling it, hence it may be still up for grabs. Have a go at searching here (make a coffee - it may take a while!)
