There is a lot of talk about this on my FB wall today, as it’s local. Plus, Barber Motorsport Park is right next door, where the largest Lotus race car collection lives. Barber doesn’t want it, and that says something. Also, apparently RBR wants the gearbox back if it’s sold, so it’s just a rolling chassis with a hunk of steel where the engine should be.

I’m not sure an LS would fit. Hyabusa V8 maybe.

So, somewhere in the U.S. there is apparently a rental storage shed with an F1 car in it. Additionally, there is someone who thinks Craig’s List is the way to move it.

If i could afford this, then I could afford to drop in either a race-sourced S52 or the V10 from the LFA

It’s a show car, will never run on it’s own even if you invest on a 75K Judd V8 engine.

It’s good if you have a sports bar and want put it on display

For some reason I was thinking the T128 was the scaled-down and de-tuned track car that Lotus sales to the general public (or at least the public that has $1 million to spend on a track car), but alas that is the T125.

For what it is — a rolling carbon fiber chassis — I guess $95,000 isn’t bad. I figure getting it fitted with an engine and a gear box that wouldn’t kill a driver (sans F1 experience) could be cost prohibitive because you can’t really make any changes to the chassis. And as is the case with most of these kinds of things, you’d need a team of people to keep it running.

It’d be an interesting display for a museum, I guess.
