I can’t say I’ve ever seen one around here before, maybe I still can’t say that...

Is it me or does it have some kind of US market bigger bumper? Did they sell these here?

In all of the universes that Lotus tried unsuccessfully to sell cars, I really do not recall that universe in North America, Really?!? What 1978 is my guess based on the door handles but no 5 mph bu mpers means pre ‘73....

Well the clean one I posted has no bumpers but the one here in SF appears to have a rotting foam filled, larger bumper. Yeah it looks like they added on a few inches, so it must be a US car? Oh and it is left hand drive.

The Eclat was sold in the U.S. in miniscule numbers in the 70s, badged as the Lotus Sprint . The Elite shooting brake variant wasn’t sold here (to the best of my knowledge), and neither was the Excel that replaced both. All featured the Lotus slant-four first seen in the Jensen-Healey, and later in the Esprit.

Sold in tiny numbers in N.A. as the Lotus Sprint, same slant-four as the Jensen-Healey and the Esprit.

Damn, that’s uncommon! Sad to see it in such a shape though...

love the winking headlight, it's like she's saying "come on, you know you want to go for a ride..."

I think I like the one by the dumpster more than it in mint condition.

I don’t know why. Attraction to clunkers I guess.

AAh ok. Well SF is good for cars, usually if they sold something in small numbers I see them here eventually and odd British cars do pop up, quite a few Morgan’s etc.. . French cars too, there are a few DS and 505s , and pretty strong French car club here and a couple mechanics who can even work on DS hydropneumatic suspension.
