Nice car though
I have now read about this car's 'wrinkled chassis'(ooer) and withdraw my nice car statement.

Barge and Pole come to mind.
Some poor sod will buy it though - Bids already at £8k.

Has it been in a shunt or is that how Lotus painted them?
I saw paint overspray on the A pillars inside too. Not a usual spot that gets painted...

Look how rusty that suspension is
So for those of us who haven't spent our adult lives licking Lotus chassis, other than mileage, what else is fucked on this car?

The dent behind the seat that they mention and picture is on the aluminium tub. I'm guessing it would take a big hit to do that.

The shitty paint job but yeah the totally fucked chassis that needs replaced should pretty much cover the "Whats fucked" elementBeany wrote: Fri Oct 30, 2020 1:55 pm

The sill is also bent in the other photo. Mines is straight as an arrow there.

The photos are time limited by AWS I think, so I took actions into my own hands
So you're saying that bit of sill and tub aren't supposed to look like a box of tissues that's been trod on in the night?

Going to take a hefty smack on the main chassis rails to push the bulkhead panel in enough to dent it like that

Yep - I'd rate this as a cat B. That chassis is not repairable.integrale_evo wrote: Fri Oct 30, 2020 3:49 pm Going to take a hefty smack on the main chassis rails to push the bulkhead panel in enough to dent it like that

Being sold fully aware of the damage no doubt. Unsuspecting wouldn't spot until too late no doubt i.e. bid on pictures alone.
I didn't spot
