1982 LOTUS ECLAT SERIES 2

An iconic car that benefits from a factory-fitted galvanised chassis. The seller seems to know these cars well and sounds like they’d be worth keeping in contact with, should you buy this one.

From the seller: “The interior is in very good original condition and is perfectly usable in half crème leather with brown carpets and wood trim steering wheel ,The headlining is all present but dropped slightly but easily sorted out and also some minor cracking on the dash but overall the interior is superb for its age

The engine and running gear are superb and it starts easily and sounds good although obviously due to the length in storage it could do with a good and tune-up, The clutch and gearbox are again lovely and still feel like the 42,000 miles the car has. The brakes work of a fashion but again going forward would need a refurb. The engine bay is excellent with no oil leaks and is very dry.”
