domster Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Suitable second car for a sevener, as it has a boot, locking doors and a 187mph top end. Good original condition and only cheap because I have a new car arriving very soon. Standard chip and generally unmolested. 1993K reg, 76k miles, lots of bills for the things that typically go wrong with Lotus Carltons, inc little extras like new clutch, strengthened timing chain, top end engine rebuild and a device that makes VR6 Golfs disappear from your rear view mirror at 130mph (called 'the accelerator pedal'). 9500 GBP Based in Oxon/Bucks, call 01494 464781 or 07990 518430.

Matt Sullivan Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 I assume this car is a previously crashed left hooker? If not, you don't need me to tell you that this is nearly 50% cheaper than it should be? Bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domster Posted May 23, 2002 Author Share Posted May 23, 2002 Yes it is a left hooker (sorry I left that out). No, it is not crashed. (All wings are original, no dodgy weld lines where they shouldn't be, everything is square). The price reflects the mileage and fact that my new car arrives in three weeks, and I don't want to be a three car household! It is priced in between trade value and the maximum I could get privately. The car is absolutely genuine and I have owned it for over 2 years, been in the member's club all that time and the car is well known. The prices for the Lotus Carltons have gone down a fair bit in the last year, and even low mileage RHD ones don't sell above 20k.

Matt Sullivan Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Fair enough. I would've been interested in a RHD - if only to move it through the trade. To anyone wanting performance per pound, they don't come any better than 1 of these. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
