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

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

1977 Lotus Esprit - $24,000



1977 Lotus Esprit S1 4cyl., 5 spd, pb, pw, 3000 miles since restoration that includes rebuilt engine and transmission, new suspension, new instruments, wiring upgrades, braided steel lines, all new custom leather interior, one off HRE wheels, tires, paint, body kit, aftermarket stereo, steering wheel, fully rebuilt master cylinder and brake booster as well as steel braided flex hoses this fall at a cost of $3900.00, runs great, some small cracks in paint on front spoiler, includes factory service manual and 2 new spare tires, being 1 of only 580 produced this classic rare British supercar is sure to appreciate in value, appraised at $35,000.00 in 2016, asking $24,000.00.

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.

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.

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?

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.

https://nanaimo.craigslist.org/cto/d...228754844.html

CORVETTE C5 RODSTER - $45,000 (Qualicum Beach)



THIS BEAUTY HAS A CUSTOM PAINT JOB THAT YOU WOULD LOVE TO SEE IN PERSON. IT IS A CONVERTIBLE, LOW KM, AND RUNS PERFECTLY. I WILL CONSIDER ANY RESONABLE OFFERS.

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

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.
