Felt like a good buy at £43,500 plus fees?

I had one on grey, was very good. Seats too upright, but if you can cant them back they are great

CC is typically quite poor for values on Lotus cars, historically.

Still, what were the dealers offering if the reserve was set that low? I think this was up for £50k privately, which given what I've seen sell in the market wasn't entirely unreasonable.

I sold one a couple of year back. A great car....Preffered it to the GT4 I later owned. Not the comfiest and lacking a bit of practicality/mod cons but a cracking drive. Looks good value..

No longer showing as "Sold" - suspect this didn't make reserve.

I'm pretty sure at the time that it was showing as no reserve as I was watching it.

ETA perfectly possible that the buyer decided not to proceed. May well have still paid the fee, which would be very painful.

I nearly bought that very car a few years ago.

It was lovely then.
