The Lotus Grand Tourers

1988 Excel being broken. Speedlines £1200

However, there are 2 reasonable condition wing mirrors - dont all run

I was looking at those last night - crazy!!
If you add up the parts he has for sale it’s over £6k and that’s just doors, bonnet, boot lid, wheels, interior etc
Doesn’t include engine, gearbox, etc

So that makes ours worth about £10k if you break for parts

I'm sure Mike's prices are a bit out of date on Lotusbits.com but last price he published for those wheels was £50 a piece, so the seller should just drop the "1".

Spats for £100 - each???

I think they'll be sitting on their shelves for a while.

Unbelievable.
Don't tell Alan he could buy a damaged front bumper for only £300!!! and that's only half of it.
We've both just picked up NOS rear for a fraction of that.
Tony

I had a laugh at those as well

Well it does seem unique in having driver’s, passanger’s and side air bags

Other than Alan's airbags, the next best thing is the warning "No timewasters". The main person wasting people's time is the seller, at that price!!

Pricing aside, I think those wheels look pretty sharp! Were they ever offered with that finish- gold center/polished lip? I've only seen them with silver painted finish.

No silver is standard. That's an owner customisation. Easy for a shop to recreate

I contacted this guy because I wanted an undertray. He said he wanted £120 for his battered one and i'd have to bid for it on ebay even though I pointed out that I could get one from SJ for £53+vat unbattered! Hes now put it on ebay for £100 so ive now bought one from SJ.
