JB455 Posted April 19 Posted April 19 It got bid to $12k and $13.5k on both auctions on BAT. Bullet paid $16k at Mecum, plus fees and transport, and thought they were gonna make money. The only thing they did to it was shine the paint.
Croc Posted April 19 Author Posted April 19 This car stands out as having huge hostility from all bidding audiences. I have not really known a car to attract that much sentiment and definitely not sure why. Not even sure it is warranted. But a lot of people voted with their wallets. By the way the numbers you quote exclude auction buyer premium which would otherwise inflate the headline auction bid to higher numbers. Ranges 12.5% to 20% depending on auction company. Experienced bidders will bid after factoring in this additional cost along with shipping cost - that way you do not overpay.

theDreamer Posted 20 hours ago Posted 20 hours ago FYI The 1966 Lotus 7 S3 that was on Facebook Marketplace at: https://www.facebook.com/share/178YRz7o5t/ (Link listed above is dead) The seller has placed another new ad at: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/27170235592582954 This Seven was for sale on Facebook Marketplace for some time. An interested buyer pointed out some problems and owner/seller took it off Facebook Marketplace while he had a mechanic check things out. The owner/seller had been claiming it was an original 1966 Lotus 7 that was completely restored and updated using Caterham parts in 1992 by Sevens and Elans. He had been asking $49,900. I messaged him several times with questions and comments but he has never responded to me. He posted it on the Lotus Club of Canada’s Facebook page and yesterday I noticed he’d changed his ad text both there and on Marketplace. He now admits it’s a Caterham and that the Lotus registration was a “US import practice”. However, he is still selling it as a 1966 Lotus because that is the way it’s registered in Quebec. He has also lowered his asking price to $42,000 Canadian.
