Another nice looking example but at a different auction house. I have to say I'm partial to gunmetal grey: https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/auction ... n-se-turbo

Steel Blue is the colour and looks very nice in the flesh.
Had one for a few years and actually saw one on the road yesterday.

This one looks interesting: original Lotus press car for auction. I remember seeing this car on Top Gear. Very early car with opera front headlights.

That went for £7600 on the hammer. Then add 7.5% + VAT. So, a total of £8284

Two Elans at SW Auctions next week (Poole, Dorset).

I've actually had a test the blue one a few years ago as it was for sale in Dorchester, Dorset. It's an extremely nice car - it was in fantastic condition when I saw it, and has a very comprehensive service history, mostly at specialists so it's been very well cared for: https://www.swva.co.uk/vehicle/za1fql8e ... mxhb3n1clv

Second is a calypso red SE turbo in the same auction, with a lower estimate: https://www.swva.co.uk/vehicle/p4aerdfc ... yh8fkb5foz
