Your ground rent?

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

LC?

Yep. Can you imagine anyone (in their right mind) paying more than £95,000 for a VXR8 today.

I think that £50,000 is way too pricey.

And yet back in 1990 Vauxhall had no problems selling every Lotus Carlton they could produce.

Wasn't there a slump in 1990. ?

I seem to remember houses lost value that year. Maybe people were still making lots of money from shares- IPO's etc.

Don't forget that way back in 1990 there was very little that could live with the LC performance wise,worth a premium just for that

 Vauxhall did struggle at the end to sell the last few LC,s. Some were offered to interested parties who had gone in for a new GSI at the GSI price Lotus wanted to do an estate version as well but VX would not allow it

Yep.....spot on, Mr Varche.

In 1988/89 the housing market was booming. Houses were being sold at full asking price or even at a premium.

By 1990 it was a very different story with  estate agents (crooks) actually having to work in order to sell property.
The classic car market followed the housing market slump with many 'classics' losing a significant amount.

 Agreed, Henry. Broadly speaking the LC was as rapid as a Countach.

What was the LC competing against in those days

Rs200

It certainly used to piss all over the BMW M5 of the day.

Wasn't the LC made specifically to be the fastest road car to compete against a particular car
