I googled those and they look pretty cool from the right angles, definetly unique. First time i've ever seen one. What kind of shape was it in?

it was in really nice shape. it failed inspection for hydrocarbons though, the carbs probably needed to be tuned.

no QQ plates, guy had regular plates on it.

I'm almost 100% sure a 1975 Mustang should have had cats on it.

eh not too bad. . ...i'd lose a lot of the chrome trim, de-oxide the paint, mold the rear bumper a little further down, paint the silver two tone the same as the body color, tint the markers and windows, and slap on some 08 Lotus Elise wheels and call it a day. lol I'm SUCH A RICER! don't MAKE FUN OF ME, I'M BORED!!

Dude it's a freakin classic Lotus! The allure is that it is what it is. You'd probably take a '66 Cobra and slap 18" black rims on it and paint it magenta, wouldn't you :mrgreen:
