    I bet you a tenner if you offered to buy it he would refuse, then let it sit there til the end of the world such a waste, there was a Lotus Sunbeam near me in that situation. Loads of people wanted to buy it...I bet theres only its roof and glass left now

    if you can find one, buy a carlton gsi with a good shell... cos that's what they made LC's out of...

    they were delivered to lotus complete, then stripped & refitted with all the clever bits..

    Had a 24v manual gsi a few years back was great. However when I get one it will be a genuine one, and a vauxhall not an opel! For me it needs to be a real one. Lke getting a white nova and turning it into a sport rep, yes it may be as good but it is not 'right'.

    Can get an opel around 15k upwards, a vauxhall is about 18k upwards dependant on condition etc.
