Perhaps 1 of the best and most original Lotus Eclat in the world out of a production of around 1500 examples between 1975 - 1982. Many examples were neglected in the 1990s and early 2000's which makes this car unique in this condition. Mechanicallyas good as perfect with original 'look & feel' in 1 of the best color combinations.
Only windscreen needs to be replaced due to a crack at the bottom.
Car can be viewed and tested in Puurs-Sint-Amands (Antwerp/Belgium).
Belgian documents available.
