Another specialist car I always liked, the Westfield (Lotus) 11. Not cheap either.
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

I'll be at $15K or so when I'm done.  :-\

Some of the expense is from having to move it lots of times but still  :-\

$15K for a Lotus 7. Sounds pretty good to me.

So they start at $50K on that website, I'm assuming before tax so $56K?  Expensive yes but not $70K+

That is way overpriced compared to the UK, I wonder why they do that..?

For those that moan about US price differences, how about this then!

You could import THIS one for $16K next year... :drool:


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...
