This model was featured in various British Movies/ TV Dramas back in the day especially this colour combo being the hero’s car as shown on you tube Lotus Elite & Eclat in different movies. I have this on full NSW registration with Aust Compliance as shown can also be club registered at any time – I have owned this car for very long time and have immensely enjoyed it, but it’s time for someone else to Enjoy it now, regretful sale. Hopefully it will go to a collector or enthusiast it’s not perfect being 49 years old but its original apart from the Radio only, I have original air Intake housing. Always maintained if any work required I had it done, as per receipts can be provided- Drives extremely nice, and handles great. All parts are still available by SJ Sportscars UK Lotus car spares, parts & accessories, servicing & repairs, SJ Sportscars LimitedFeel free to contact me on the details below for any information: EG: PPSR Cert, has new fuel pump, battery, has not been driven often with new clutch + new cable, etc. I have all receipts from when I purchased it and had all required work done for full NSW Rego Aust Comp plate done for any other state for full Rego or club. Head lining is original but will need attention eventually but still pretty good for its age, hasn’t fallen down just old-This vehicle was originally from the UK and I hope it makes its way back, to its home of origin-it doesn't get its full appreciation in Australia. I Purchased this Vehicle from Robert Barlin which he was living and working in the UK then he personally imported it to Australia.
