Is this the oldest Lotus currently for sale?

[WayneB]

Found this 1956 Lotus Mk.VI for sale whilst on the Fantasy Junction website.

It has to be pretty much the oldest Lotus currently for sale in the world!:thumbup1:

I saw a Mark 6 for sale in Motorsport this month, for £35,000. I wonder if it's the same one?

[WayneB]

Was it this one Mark?:huh:

Its a 1955 and they claimed it was the last one built (since sold).:huh::huh:

Paul Matty has the old Chris Smith Mk V1 for sale ,unfortunately they are now worth enough to make them worth repicating and you can now buy a complete kit to do it.Clockwork

[WayneB]

Blimey , Paul Matty wants 35,000 GPP for that one which is 72,000 USD

The one in California is almost half-price!:ohmy:

Yea, that's the one!

[WayneB]

Anyone on here ever driven a Lotus VI ?:huh:

[Martin]

I wish.

I'm still waiting to drive a 7.

I've been for a ride in a 2000 Caterham SV but that is the closest I've been to these cars.

[WayneB]

I've drove a couple of 7's and they are great fun.:steeringwheel:

You can have a ball in cars like this without breaking the 100mph barrier and causing a civil disturbance.

A Morgan 3 wheeler would be a hoot!:mf_dribble:

great picture Wayne!

The only exotic I have driven was my Esprit and TonyK's Blue S1 which was a thrill.

There is a guy locally in my area that has one of those Morgans. He brings it out almost every month for a monthly car show we go to in N. Atlanta.
