Its been for sale at that price since last year

 

Wow. I don't think I've ever seen one that expensive before.

 

what does he have that make him so special?

 

Only 5k miles ?

 

I'd say you're awfully close! It's in spectaculat shape so far as the pix show.
As a for instance.........

Ebay
'99 Lotus Esprit/13,500 mi.----------$42,000.(BUY IT NOW)

'99 Lotus Esprit/83 mi. (untitled)----$55,000.(START BID---below reserve)

NADA Avg. retail value: $44,000.

 

A lot of $ to have no photo of the rear of the car, the engine compartment or the interior. Does it even have an engine or interior?

 

You need to click a link to see the other photos.

The right front of the front bumper is slightly misaligned - the only flaw I can spot.

I like 412s in red.

 

Give it ten years and there will be people saying "Wow. I don't think I've ever seen one that cheap before."

 

It looks brand new. How sad.

Back in January, 2001, it was at the Bonham & Brooks Auction in West Palm Beach, Florida, lot number 162, listed as red with tan leather. The estimate was $45,000-$50,000, but the car was withdrawn.

 

I would be interested in it if it was a 5 speed...

 

Erik,

You pretty much already have one (in fact, I'd say the 365 is better!). You need to continue adding variety to the collection, say a BB or TR; or maybe something old.

I'm thinking bookends. First of the line, last of the line.

I will get a glass 308 at some point to finish the 308 group...

 

And do you remember, sir Judge, that I was ready to buy your QV----------and then you changed your mind--DAMMITTTTTTTMAN

Have you thought about getting a "t" coupe?

Cheers, Hank

 

"The Aero Toy Store" in Fort Lauderdale? That wouldn't be related to ........... Nah, no one would be that stupid, would they?

Aidan,
I noticed on mine that when they drilled thru the fender to install those 'blasted' rectangular reflectors, their location was just off a tad, consequently, adjusted the side bumper rail so light socket would squeeze in. A little reaming of the hole and 'bam', aligned like new.

 

Yes, but I like black bumpers.
