escortmad79 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Why are they worth so much? Rare, highly sought after item. Lotus wood rim wheels have always commanded a high price
bortaf Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 you've heard of coosie tax, well lotus tax is older and at a higher rate

lotusless Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 as i used to own a mk1 lotus i know that nothing is cheap for these cars + it does sound a lot of money but it is mint + if someone needs one it will go for a lot more than £820
Chris! Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 the late wheels dont go for as much, its the early ones that are worth all the money!!
R1.Andy Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 mad aint it..when you think back 20yr we used to swap these sort of bits for crap or sell them for a fiver.. i paid 300 quid for a wood rim les leston 2yr ago from an auto jumble ..and im not sure i even like it. praps i should flea bay it and get some funds back
Muttley MK2 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 About twenty years ago I gave my brother a set of mk1 escy two up two down brackets with a pair of dipping oscars and a pair of super oscars on them. When I saw the price of this stuff rocketing I gave him a ring to enquire if he still had them. Feckin twat had given them to the scouts for a jumble in 1999, GIT

Toby Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 You know when you buy something at an auction and you get that sort of sinking feeling cos you've got to part with the cash, and you wonder if you've paid a bit over the odds. Well I um...............er.............. Am pleased to say I'm not the unhappy new owner!! WTF!!
Copey Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 whoever got that needs to be sectioned!!!!
antz Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 i bet you wouldnt complain if you were the seller i wouldnt if it was me
