The Lotus Grand Tourers

It was hammer price plus premium plus vat.
Saw it in the flesh morning of auction - looked like an awful lot of work to me (my opinion obviously)
Amazing how different many of the lots looked like when compared to the glossy catalogue

Of course -
BMW E30 1.8is
I'm sure I'll have another Lotus at some point - but either my Imp or Scimitar will have to go first.
Cheers

Hi all

Thanks for the interest in my ad - now sorted with a vehicle! (non lotus I'm afraid) - typically now all sorts seen to be turning up!
The one advertised in Club Lotus news does appear to be a good car but if I now bought another car I'd get shot!

Cheers

Happy hunting Andrew, and with that budget it should cover almost all models (possible exception on a very sorted celebration as they are now bobbing around that figure).

Welcome!

Only a few years back, even the very best Excels would be unlikely to be over £10k. Even now, a budget of £15k should buy you pretty much any car you want. Get in now before prices rise further!

Totally agree - just want the best one I can get for the budget.

Thanks for the welcome folks! Looking for the best I can get (no projects) up to 15k ish - was going to look at the one at auction at Manor Park Classics (only 1 hr away) but they have just updated all the photos & underneath not as clean as I would like? BUT I may still have a run out there on Satu...
