1976 Eclat and 1978 Elite

Post by igg-hiss »

Time to face up to realities, my 1976 eclat which I have be dreaming of doing up needs to find a new owner with the time to put to the project.

In brief:

2x lotus shells (1 red eclat and 1 blue elite)
2x chassis (1 old rusty and 1 painted red with care and attention lavished upon it and all its brake and suspension parts.
2x engines (1 original complete and runs + 1 engine in bits)
2x sets of wheels (one excellent with Mitchelin tyres and one old and grotty with knackered tyres)
1x pair of carbs
and assorted other parts removed from the vehicles

In summary the value in my post is in the chassis and its related parts and in the fact that the eclat carries a norwich plate and I am fairly sure I saw it in an old retest mag once (LAH520P) so it may have been a press car for either the factory or have been borrowed from the Norfolk dealer.

£1000

I will try and upload some photos soon.

The Lotus Eclat, a lot like the English Whisky company: comes from Norfolk and better than you are often told it is.
