Shite Ron Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) I would love one of these, this is the right year, right colour. It has been listed recently, so this is at least the second time of listing. Below is the best picture. If the vans and caravans do not inspire confidence in the seller then read the description. I’m oot. Even I am not stupid enough to bid on this. ( it is lovely though ) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lotus-elite-1974-n-reg/254838937818?hash=item3b559598da:g:v9wAAOSwYRxgBwQp Edited January 19, 2021 by Shite Ron Added link Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was cheaper, it could sell to a pickup builder... Funny thing for a dealer to import speculatively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had two identical in the dairy I worked at when I was still at school and saving for my first car, we used to use them for any extra deliveries for items not on the milk float.(later replaced with bedford midi’s. I had a minivan when I was 20, I remember getting it to 80 flat out. When driving them my knees were touching the metal dash rail as the seat would not go back far enough due to the load bed. Fun but in short doses, not for long journeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
