Ronnie Peterson Elite for sale
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.

Re: Ronnie Peterson Elite for sale
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)?
