This car has not even done 200 miles since.
The cost of professionally restoring a car today to this standard is more than the asking price. ithout buying a base car
The paint job alone was 5K.
This car is truly an outstanding example of these beautiful cars. Chris at Lotus Outlaws will confirm its probaly the best he's done. nd i would defiantly say it is one of the best in the country.
It has a known history from the 80s and has never been re-shelled.
Please note i have seen a lot of cars recently go for around about the 25k mark and a lot of them are what i would class as substandard. and certainly not in the same league as this car.
Do not confuse this with one of those cars as this car is correct. immaculate and concourse. and an appreciating asset.

I'm happy to P/X with anything interesting
