.....I love a Lotus Carlton, but I can't even imagine the pain of trying to get some of the parts that needs

Brake discs or calipers were like hen's teeth at one stage.

Round rear arches - only found on the GTi I thought.

And other variants like the Forte.

This is lovely, great colours inside and out but not cheap.

The seats are fantastic:

Early S2, so will have twin TPS. Fun. Only seems to have a single LCD display; I thought the Prestiges had 3?

Seller Keith Davis is well-known as a stockist of NOS CX and DS body panels and other parts. £1200 for a bonnet lid.

I think you've went a bit OTT on the exterior roll cage M8

I've spent a few minutes staring at that playing a fun little game; where would you need to tactically cut that external cage for it to all come crashing down in the quickest way possible?

It's just the scaffolding to get on top to seal the roof leaks

Only the turbos had three I think.  The first CX I drove was a C reg prestige in metallic blue with beige leather. I suppose I should have bought it -60,000 miles, and £3500 in 1998.

Hmm. My DTR had three but other 25 petrols I’ve driven don’t. I wonder if it’s down to the year? Nearly all the series 2 prestige’s were C reg,

All the S2 petrol turbos I've seen had four.

So long since I’ve been in one I can’t remember any more. Looks like a nice prestige anyway. When I had my Pallas Roger Bradford was selling a s2 prestige with 14,000 miles in 2000. I wonder what happened to that?

I know Keith Webb has one which he only brings out occasionally. Might be that one?

Keith’s is a manual ( hydraulic conversion) Turbo. This low mileage one was a standard 25 auto.

Peugeot, 205, Hatchback, 1992, Manual, 1769 (cc), 3 doors

I've just been to look at this. 

It runs well, brakes seem OK and the fluid is clean. 

However:

welding is cosmetically challenged, and it's had a lot - inner wings, possibly strut tops, outer and inner sills.
boot floor is holed
no battery
cracked headlight
passenger door doesn't open and lock barrel is mullered/pushed in 
No radio and wiring is mangled 
Steering cowl is present but not attached - there's a light switch under it that apparently does something with hydrogen to increase the fuel economy
inside is absolutely hanging 
rear tyres are bald, I'm suspicious the rear beam is fucked
spare wheel carrier was covered in rust - didn't want to find out if it was seized
Inside of bonnet is crispy
Blower motor doesn't work
random wires everywhere. 

The ad says 'make me an offer' but hes firm on price. 

Oh, and the seller started going on about ivermectin  working as a Covid vaccine, and that it also cured his joint pain overnight.
