It'll be interesting to see what this sells for,- but I do wish they wouldn't put Lotus in the description, I wonder if it influences the bidding (not those in the know of course)!

I was interested in this car when it went to auction a week or so ago, so made a few inquiries and it is apparently a good genuine car. The car sold with no reserve for approx 26K, so someone looking to make a quick
15% and who can blame them.

Well....I think it's earned the Lotus title, even though it doesn't have a lotus type number. Every bit as exciting to drive as a lotus cortina, perhaps more so with that shorter wheelbase!
 
I dont think the car was sold as brooklands say it was, as the new trim was in the car at auction .I went to see the car( it was not very nice) but was ok. The now owner says he paid for the trim so he was the vender i assume .Brooklands allso had some other cars there that had been sold before im sure they own them .mk2 zodiac ragtop rs 2000 yellow .all were sold before
as i remember.

I have made contact with the owner and despite Historics saying it was sold, it wasnt. May well have a look in the next few days, not sure about sunroof though?

Does anyone know when the facelift happened on the Escort, I thought it was late 70, as this is car is Feb 70 it seems to have the later spec parts fitted, just an observation.
