Ronnie Peterson Elite for sale

Post by TrevorK »

I just saw that Historic Auctioneers' 12th of March auction contains Ronnie Peterson's old Elite https://www.historics.co.uk/buying/auct ... erson-dg//

It has no reserve but I'm sure it will fetch a good price, perhaps a record because of its provenance.

(Link should work now)

What a great find Trevor.
Another "oh if I had the space" car.
Link didn't directly work, but entering lotus elite into search bar soon found it.

Thanks chaps.

It looks like a proper survivor car, as they say in the USA.

Looks like I wouldn't be able to afford this. Surely it's going to make good money (assuming no chassis horrors)?

Multi page feature on the car in this month's Car & classic. Just scanned it in the newsagents. Suggests a guide of £20- £25k. !!!!
