This post is more difficult to write than I expected. Someone is going to be super lucky to experience this car.

For Sale:
*2007 Lotus Exige S, July 2007 build date :UK:
*:ST: Aspen White lifestyle paint, which is a red, green, and blue metallic with a gold pearl clear coat. Looks neutral white in shadows, and the gold pearl catches the sun beautifully. The metallic gives it nice flop with lighting transitions.
*Touring Package, Traction Control, and Starshield
*VIN SCCVC11137HL82772
*Title: Clean & Clear
*Mileage: 35k
*Price: Asking $45,900
Carefully selected improvements, as chronicled in my 4 year running http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f157/ryephiles-exige-s-improvement-thread-109979/ Reading back through my thread, it reminds me how amazing this car has been both performance-wise and with its great reliability.
*Kold-Fire 270 HP ECU flash
*Really Light Stuff Intercooler and light IC tubes, both gunmetal gray to match the "S" logo on the front fender
*My custom MCU closed-loop temp-controlled Intercooler fans within the IC shroud.
*BOE Silent Touch exhaust
*NGK BKR7EIX spark plugs
*VVTL-i lift bolts replaced around 14k miles while inspecting the cams and replacing valve cover gasket
*V2 Motorsports baffled fuel tank
*V2 Motorsports baffled oil pan
*Sector 111 QWKCANS catch cans
*Nitron "Singles" coil-overs with Hyperco 450 lb/in front and 600 lb/in rear spring rates. A great blend of street-ability and track-day control.
*Sector 111 RTD2 rear toe-link brace with Nitron toe-pins
*V2 Motorsports steering arms
*Ralph at V2 Motorsports did the exquisite alignment and corner balance. This car feels markedly better than a stock Exige S in every way, and that's not just hyperbole.
*Factory LSS wheels [6.5" front, 7.5" rear] with Toyo R888 tires
*DBA 5000-series 2-piece rotors
*Carbotech Bobcat for street and XP pads for track
*Choice of original black leather Exige Probax seats or Composite Worx carbon/suede lightweight seats.
*Stereo currently deleted, speaker grilles in-place for discreet look. DIN cubby to hold smartphone. All wiring kept intact if you want to put a big bumpin' system back in.
*Difflow Flat diffuser with Difflow rear panel delete. Heat shields kept intact as much as possible and painted high-temp ceramic flat black.
*Hand-laid 72 gram carbon fiber battery holder for the Shorai LFX36
*Sector 111 trunk bootie.
*Currently on it's 2nd Starshield. The 1st one was replaced under warranty for yellowing.

I've always ran 93 octane on the street, and occasionally 100 octane unleaded at the track. I don't consider track time for this car a negative. Never crashed anywhere, no body or paint work. I drive the car as it was intended, then do an extremely thorough post-track inspection up on jackstands and replace whatever is worn out. No excuses.
The car weighs 1919 pounds w/out fuel or driver. It's averaged 27 MPG while I've owned it [click for my Fuelly], and that's including track time! I can honestly say this has been by far the most exhilarating and perfect sports car I've owned. I need to tighten up my finances so I'll be tracking a Miata, which is a big step down in pace. This Exige S was invited to and featured in the 2012 Concours of the Americas at St. Johns in the Supercar circle, that right there should tell you how clean and excuse-free the car is.

The car has even been on the front page highlight reel of Killboy at the Tail of the Dragon, 2 months ago when I brought it to MINIs on the Dragon as well as met up with Silver Surfer and Almighty, both following me in this picture. Thanks Darryl!

I really hope this car goes to an enthusiastic new owner that appreciates the time and care I put into this car. Email me at Ryan at Ryephile dot com or my cell at two four eight - seven six one - eight zero seven one
Please visit my Flickr gallery for a bunch of detailed pictures of the car through my years of ownership.
Thanks for looking!
