Default Bring back memorys??

My mates brothers RS1800. Look as clean underneath as it does on top. It's only done 25000 miles and worth a small fortune.

He has some very nice cars inc a lotus sunbeam, group 4 mk1, and a mk1 BDA plus some other very nice motors. Malcom Wilson was after his RS as he has the next one of the prodution line.

f**king hell. hes got a few quids worth of motors there. if i spent a Sunday looking at those cars, then that would be my idea of a dirty weekend . i would even lie to the girlfriend where i was!! that would be an excellent line up seeing them together. even the black and gold of the lotus sunbeam. your mates brother is one lucky fella. its good to see that someone flashing the cash couldn't persuade him to sell the rs1800. nice one

Black and gold?? JPS Lotus colours were black and gold.

Black and silver surely? (or blue and silver for the Series 2)

Stunning car, preferred the RS2000 myself, or even better a Mk1 Mexico, can't believe how much they cost these days though

Silly money.... gone mad the last few years. I was reading one of my old CCC mags from 1996 and there were RS2000's for 1500 quid. If only I had bought a few.

Its stunning but I thought all the RS 1800's came from the factory with steel wheels , try to track down a set to keep it totally genuine if it is the case.
If it was mine i'd never sell it, he's very lucky, thanks for posting the pic's of such a rare car

He fits all kinds of wheels, he likes it to wind up people at the concours car shows who take things a little to serious.
