Are any of you guys watching this? I've never seen a Lotus Cortina bid up this high. I can't explain it. Can you? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lotus-Cor...=item45ef381820

Looks like a nice example of a super rare and very cool car with lots of race heritage. Seems these have been creeping up in price lately and so I guess I am not that surprised. When you compare this to what original GTOs and 'Cudas are getting it really seems pretty reasonable. I'd certainly like one.
Rob.

Wow. 38K is the final price. I'm still in shock.

I saw one recently go for about $40K, I think it was on "Pistonheads". I dunno, $40K for a Cortina?  Money is cabbage to some folks . . .

I missed out on a couple of them back in the '80's.
Both were around $2500.
