Thanks all, it's a 1978 Lotus Elite 503 - so manual with aircon and power steering.
Currently owned by an Italian friend, who needs the space for his Ape business. The car is complete but in bits, engine was stripped and rebuilt some time ago but it needs both water and fuel pump, interior was stripped and sent to the trimmers so comes with new leather seats, door cards and new carpet. Carbs have just been serviced and rebuilt and it comes with lots of new parts like seals for lights and doors etc. Most importantly chassis and body look to be in good condition, yes it needs a repaint but no major cracks or damage in the fibreglass.
Just need to agree the price but its not silly money and its Irish registered so no duty, VRT to contend with, a rare thing over here.
