Not seen one that low, 38-39K seems to be about the level they are now unless they’re very low mileage.

So that places a repaired car possibly Cat S or N at 66% value , Dealer selling £38k car has it owing him £30k or S.O.R £35k therefore damaged Car needs to reflect that.

That car is £10k at best and that's before anyone realises there is structural damage and not just panel damage.

When I was looking at our first purchase so long ago an S1 was 38-41k and S2 was 44k if you could find one. It would appear they are still sitting around the same price. Not as good as some rare Porks but a lot better than any tintop I have owned! With man maths it could be considered an investment.


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

- that looks pretty sad frown

I'm sure a bit of TLC would improve matters, but a little overpriced given the provenance?

UK Lotus Centre has an 'interesting' track record on the Lotus forums.......
