Cheap(ish!) Lotus project

Always quite liked the Elan M100s, this one could be a decent buy depending on what "interior needs a little attention" means:

Seats look worn but I think they are 'covers' so if you can get replacements should be an easy fix. Roof is probably the weakest area, they leak pretty much from new so a garage or car cover is highly recommended. They have spongy seals that work until they become waterlogged and then serve to channel water onto the seats. :roll:

Saw that on gumtree and thought about it but then went for the practical option..

But, talking of Lotus projects...
