what a botched-up job:

enginebay rattle-can sprayed in black, bulkhead shows (where the black is already flaking) blue metallic and underneath the power-sterring hoses yellow is cumming through, surplus colored bumpers and waistbandtrim removed and waistband flattened.

also the sellers statements: "I bought my Lotus last year for £5000" needs to be proved by an invoice (which i guess he has lost)...and if it would been true (i doubt) he was ripped off by the former seller.

"It was in immaculate condition but had a couple of electrical problems"---if a car is immaculate, he has no problems at all...normally...

I believe this car used to live very very near me and if so the £5000 story is probably true . A couple of years back I visited the owner who had owned it for many years. I used to see it in his garage in various states of disassembly, and it never seemed to come out though he swore it was roadworthy. It wasn't very nice, so when I saw it for sale was amazed it made a couple of grand, next thing I knew it was on Ebay and I was told it went for 5 grand. If it's the same car.....but the reg looks very, very familiar and the colour spec fits (red S1 auto flattened waistband)

Jesus! If this car ever made the 5 big ones i may get 10 for mine, or maybe 15! My car used to be immaculate too. About 30 years ago! (hee-hee).
