Words fail me!

Presumably Arun Cars Ltd played no part in the supply of the Jag then?

After all the collective time, effort and money poured into the Esprit it does seem rather sad that it couldn't remain within the LEF community.

no james, the car was for his brother, he wanted something nice and different for weekends etc, and wsa interested in the lotus in direct trade for his jag, he never mentioned putting it up for sale again. he wanted it for himself, and it seems that his "older brother" whom i dealt with on the phone has stuck it in his garage for sale at an increased price

Simon removed it from that particular Ebay auction some time ago, Wayne. Subsequently exchanged it for a Jag, but it's now turned up on Ebay again - see thread two or three below this one.

can't believe what's goin on here

Is it real ?? After all that effort taken from the community !?

reminds me on an opinion I've heard ,that it is not good to support the project -as long as the person for which it's dedicated would still say what an 'great guy can eat' .... .

Is there an recovery project planed to save the car for the community, or the best way -for the Lotus company as an "special equipment" test car for the historic car section !?

and ebay uk it seems. Note the different seats and steering wheel

Jag's you say . . .

No doubt the new owner's first port of call will LEF, so it won't be 'lost' to us.

Interesting comment on the advert about "an incredibly expensive overhaul". I don't recall invoicing for my time or the money I spent on parts. Looks like the "dealer's" going to do quite nicely out of this...................
