I have seen this car for sale for over 3 years, from some "museum in Utah". This is a drop of $3000 from previous ads. Seems pretty original, but looks like a lot of resto is needed.

Not a big fan of the gold roof on this one. :?

In the ad they say the Lotus now galvinizes replacement chassis.
They did for a while...I had one. But the process torques the chassis. It is my understanding that they no longer do this.

Oh...one more thing.

If the seller of this car is from the Utah Museum, please contact me at tvacc *at* lotusowners *dot* com. I have been running an ad for your cars for like 8 years. The agreement we made said that I would do so. But the contact info is no longer valid. I have fielded many emails asking about your cars and I have been able to contact you.
