SA seen available

SA seen on Fleabay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lotus-Eclat-E ... 6016.l4276

Don't wish encourage or to put anyone off a possible purchase, but here is some further info:
This was the first car I looked at before getting my own SA last year. The mileage is actually plus 100k more than being touted. The front fogs are missing due to a lecky fault which the PO couldn't fix so removed them - blows the fuse. The interior was dank smelly and wet on my viewing but the leather wasn't too bad if I recall. The paint work looks much better than when I last looked. Has appreciated 50% in price and moved location since last year. The wiper didn't park but looks ok here but the engine sounded fine. Oh - And the gear change handle kept falling off! :D

Yes, I can back up what Stu says.

As per his link, that was my SA till a few years ago and the mileage was approaching 100k when I sold it!! And the inside looks shabbier than when I had it.

Good to see a few SA's still around though. The engine note on that car still beat the hell out of the earlier and later Excels I've had since.
