New gearbox needed every 6000 mile service!

Where is the supercharger mounted? Three engine bay shots but I only see part of the plumbing.

I think it's mounted in front of the engine - in front of where the a/c compressor is/was mounted. Don't know if it's intercooled/chargecooled.

Advert states it's intercooled. 290 hp, apparently. Plenty of other useful upgrades, e.g. fuel injection, galvanised chassis, LSD, electric headlamp lifters... Sounds like someone has spent a lot of money on it!

As I mentioned in my largely ignored post in the Facebook group, seemingly just before this topic was started on here; I've seen this car in person and it did appear well engineered and in superb condition with some unique touches. Not all to my taste admittedly. It's a bit sad to see it up for auction, I'd hoped to see it again and invited the owner to our local Lotus meet and he was relatively interested, but it never did make it unfortunately.
No affiliation with the seller either.
