Although i'd ditch the wheels...The cars kind of cool and its got four seats...

Not sure if it would be reliable though...as Lotus never had a great reputation for that...

God its cheap though and looks kind of exotic....

Fun new toy or sucide with the wife?

I really don't have the room for this car but it is kind of cool to dream...

They are not all nightmares....they look rather nice, and they can be reliable, if they have been maintained well, same as most LBCs I suppose, but these are rather more temperamental than most.
