So Alan sold it.......I saw it was for sale but didn't realise it had sold.......

[Keith Halstead]

Being sold by Trevor - perhaps as the ad has gone means it's sold already.... :wink:

What is the earliest mk1 lotus known to the club

The Bruce Reynolds reconnoitering car for the great train robbery BMK 723A was 13th off the Lotus line and with such a low mileage due to it being impounded by the police for years has got to be one of the earliest other than the launch car 12 PAR (?) and is really a bench mark for the details of the early Mk1 cars !

 

[Michael Winstock]

Just to be really picky, I think its £89995
