Thats the way I WAS looking at it, but now after all the replies on here, and the MLR im not so sure, lol.
I always thought they were quite reliable, I guessed parts would be expensive and also guessed some parts wouldn't be avaliable off the shelf now (just like the cossie's I guess), but I suppose I didn't think about the fact that a Lotus Carlton isn't like a cossie in the respect that if something isn't avaliable from the dealer, then I doubt there is an aftermarket part for it either
And the other thing is, it wouldn't be kept in the garage and it would be my everyday car.
