TheDingo8MyBaby Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I love the old FF's. The seller is actually an ex lotus 7 owner, Dan Shivley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikker Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 I agree, it is form functional but sensuous too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDingo8MyBaby Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Looks like he's asking for $25k, which seems pretty reasonable based on other lotus 51 sales. I suspect this car will need a "going over" though as it's been essentially sitting as a show car for a while. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/3957665813.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croc Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Here is how they made a Lotus 51 for the road in the UK:http://www.sportscarmarket.com/car-reviews/classic-and-collector-cars/race/2346-1968-lotus-51r Now if that was imported over here I bet it could be registered as an historic in most states. However starting from scratch, all I can say is good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gherkin Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I saw this car at last month's Sacramento area EuroSunday event, it looked fantastic! It may need a "going over" before any really aggressive track time but it sure was put together and preserved well. It's amazing how much time you can spend looking over something so small...:drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
