Lotus Excel? Or Esprit? Or Eclat? for sale on Auto Trader.

Image

In the listings it's an Esprit. Click on the item for sale and it's an Eclat. Either way, the entire description reads "BARN FIND , White, 2 owners, £30,000". Odo reads 57k, but who knows if its 157k?

Actually looks useable, if a bit careworn in places. No shot of the engine though. Might be worth about 1/4 of what they are asking, if they are lucky. Oh, and it comes with an identical immobiliser to mine, the only other time I've seen that one fitted. The one that I just bypassed a couple of months ago, 'cos it was making my car more immobile that it should be!

Oh yeah, that one!

Well, it's still listed on their own website, so they haven't given up yet!

Maybe someone should have a quiet word with them about their pricing...
