    Does anyone else think that this ad is pretty hilarious?

    Funny, I was expecting an ad for something like this:

    Yes, we now have signatures.

    Soooo....Does moving the engine back 3 feet help in the 1/4 mile, or is that a CG fix for autocrossing?

    Hey at least the ad is honest. I am also pretty confident it has a rust free body.

    I take it the car body isn't metal? Sorry, I'm not familiar with that one.

    The seller obviously knows his way around a Lotus ;-)

    I suspect he will have a difficult time selling the car (...sigh). The performance is spot on, but parts are difficult to get (for a resonable amount of money). The interior of those cars is dated and down right fugly. Probably the only value is the engine as a parts car for an earlier Lotus Esprit.
