A Lotus Carlton reg L212 MAU Build number 0880G went through a local classic car auction
Was featured in a few magazines back in the day when it owned by the Technical Director of Caterham Cars
Was listed in the auction guide as 1993 Lotus Carlton Est £12000-£15000
Made £9500 plus fees at East Anglian Motor Auctions 5th May 2012
Now listed on the evil bay classified for £18,000 which seems like a nice profit if you can get it......

Sorry for the caps just quoting the ad
It's the 29th today it sold on the 5th so by my maths 24 days or a smidge over three weeks - I smell a rat carefull if anyone looks over the car the paint may well be still wet
Looks like a rather chavy stereo on the hole too but I'm not into ICE

If someone pays the £18K then fair play, why do people complain because they know what they paid?
And if it's full of filler over rust with a £500 blow over having been outed through the auction system......... Yeah right you'd be fine with that too
Price paid and garage profit doesn't concern me - claims of work carried out by the seller when some clearly been carried out by the previous owner as it wasn't possible within the timeframe does make me mistrust the seller slightly
But that's just me hey - Buyer beware
