arrrrgggghhhhh some cretin has destroyed a 1977 Lotus Esprit in a tasteless attempt to make it look "better" or "newer" :Puke:

"sure to appreciate in value" - with that body kit and wing on it, not likely.

failing me on that post? You actually like that? Sure, whatever man, each to his own taste.

dunno i think it looks good

Flagged for removal already, fake ad?

might have been flagged for removal because buddy is in Alberta but advertising it on CL Vancouver? It wasn't me that flagged it, I swear.

@Twitchy I'll admit that it's well executed, not a botched DIY job but seeing such a classic car updated like that, I dunno, it just kinda rubbed me the wrong way. I love the look of those cars and it's kind of an attainable bucket list car for me.

Looks fine to me

I'm sure the designer that drew up the Esprit didn't plan on the big afterthought of a bumper that made it to production. And the 1977 N America version of an S1 would be even bigger.

$24G is lots for a toy, I wonder if it sold.

nope, it's reposted with the part about it being in Alberta removed from the ad

Umm... no thanks

What I don't understand is this:

[Insurance Claims
08/23/2002 British Columbia, Canada COLLISION $0.00
05/24/2004 British Columbia, Canada VANDALISM $589.72
11/28/2011 British Columbia, Canada COLLISION $0.00
07/22/2020 British Columbia, Canada COLLISION LEFT REAR CORNER $0.00

As the result of the last claim, the left rear Lamp got replaced and the Corner got fixed without Paint!!
Nothing Serious At All!
The car was written off by the ICBC because of the above mentioned accident
As mentioned, Very Very minor.]



So, it is so very very minor that it got written off by ICBC? Also, why are 3 of the claims $0.00, including the last one that caused the car to be written off?

Paid out of pocket to have it repaired?

The ad is down now, but are we sure those are all of the collisions? Usually an ICBC report will have a separate line that says "TOTAL LOSS" as a result of it being written off.

LOLOL.

I live in Pemberton, it's a really small town and I have NEVER seen this thing around (thank god), it must be a new arrival. One would have to be insane to pay $20K for that thing.

anyone in the market for a sweet custom CORVETTE C5 RODSTER?

I'm not sure why the seller is shouting in his ad in all caps.

Boomer confirmed

Sometimes I feel bad for cars that clearly have some love or money put in to them, but are worthless. Can’t believe he’s asking 45k for an 18 year old non-z06 vette, but doesn’t give any actual information on it whatsoever

The bright side is he will get to keep it forever.

Maybe. When I didn't fix my car for a minor accident, it still showed the dollar value when I sold the car. However, that was cause I actually took it to the shop to get a quote.
