looks sold at 4k

[Bazza 907]

Wow, if so that looks like an absolute steal.

The wheels and rear lights alone will be worth close to £4k.

[Barrykearley]

That was an absolute bargain - expecting to see it back on classified ads soon for £11995

We sold it as was no longer compliant with the ULEZ. As you know it was Shelly Schumacher ‘s daily for years and we did the Hethel 70th in it. 
we let it go for 5k as I wanted a quick sale. 
it was still pulling like a train. Great little car. 
see you at Dave and Megs x

[Bibs]

Excellent car for the money, that'll give someone a great summer of fun! 

[Barrykearley]

I was always a bit dubious of these m100 elans - but now having driven one they are simply incredible things - and that ones a bargain to be had

Lotus ELAN M100 PROTOTYPE Convertible Manual for sale.....

Assume this is the one advertised on Facebook some months ago that was pretty cheap?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166853673755  £25k!!

[jep]

Yep. That's the one. It was v cheap on Facebook, I think less than £5k.

Description odd, it seems to suggest it was owned by Mike Kimberley when discovered this year. I'm sure @Kimbers can clarify 

[exeterjeep]

The guy who bought it got in contact with me to see what he might do with it, I suggested various things like asking our leader or Scott W or putting it into a museum. But seems to have decided to sell at a profit. Think he had been in contact with some current / ex Lotus guys as well.

Alarm bells? Can't even spell MJK's surname correctly. Last time I spoke to MJK at Castle Combe he didnt have an M100 prototype hiding in a barn 🤔

Caveat Emptor.

Sold at Coy's auction at Silverstone many years ago. Would be interesting to have this interesting car. Might get you an invite to the Lotus staff reunion or garden party?
