[Mike]

.....not sure what it is? lotus carlton?

indeed it is! All 176mph of it :eek: and 378bhp iirc???

Not bad for a car the weights nearly 2 tonnes, with full electrics and leathers!:thumb: The best saloon car of the 1990's, bar the sapphire cossy?? lol

[db_1.2]

saphire?!?! pshhhh! please! what about the propper cosworth's?

[General Baxter]

nathan find out how much he wants, dont tell him the going rate tho ;)

[Jack]

*cough*?20-30k*cough* lol

There's one on Autotrader for ?10k though... whats the betting its just a GSi with Lotus badges on it lol

Tax btw will be on the old rates, so the >1.5 rate - ?170?

[General Baxter]

just my moms after a new car, and he can insure one of these for just over ?1k

[Stuart]

i was reading a really pish book on half price supercars and they recon the LC is worth ?10K now.... erm so how come they swap hands for ohhhh ?15K+ lol

[dannyb]

Rarity i guess, its a sellers market with niche cars. The glass' guide prices a mint GSi at a stupidly low price though doesn't it?

[Stuart]

yes but a mint nova gsi is still only a nova.... not worth more than ?700 tops lol

[Nath]

ive got to pop down in the week, but i doubt it hell want to sell lol. i couldnt beleive it when i parked up in the mini and saw it there, i nearly splat my load!!!

[Jack]

I don't think I'd even pay ?700 for a Nova... that'll probably be why I still haven't bought one again yet* lol

[RJM25R]

I'm sure the guy has gone to the trouble of SORN'ing it just to sell it to the first person who ofeeres ??? for it....

[Lee]

Theyre worth what people are willing to pay. Agreed theyre not worth it, but people are willing to pay for mint ones, they'll go up as they get rarerer, mark my words!
