I actually like the car but it don't look Lotus, perhaps a nice rare early GT though?

couple of teeny weeny problems here ........
Pre-airflow LC's where never built in LHD
If you look at the trunk and under trunk area - no hump, no support tubes for rear wheel arches, and it has a spring assisted trunk lid (pre-airflow LC had simple hinges and a trunk stay on the RHS)
Note also the mention of it being car #129 0n the 67 Monte. Problem is, that car was a LHD Airflow car ........ doh !

Fake and misrepresented, t's bid over 20 grand as of today. I wonder if this will become one of those cars that gets bought, sold, bought, sold, bought, sold???

Well this car was amazingly bid up to 45 GRAND and the seller still wasn't happy with that(reserve not met) I wonder if anyone ever challenged the seller on his facts. Here is a real picture of what that car is supposed to be.

#129 in the picture is an airflow model. So it probably isn't the same car advertised which is a pre-airflow.
