Well, in spite of my pessimistic post about the British summer (which isn't exactly stunning, but not as bad as it could be) I have actually spent most of the last week driving the Lotus to work. This is an absolute pleasure, which makes it even more painful to see the poor girl listed on eBay.
I have really mixed feelings. In a funny sort of a way, even though I've been trying to sell her for ages, I don't really want to see her go. On the other hand, I know I won't find the time to use her and it will be the usual story come winter of sitting too long, seizing up and expensive repair bill in May.
I wonder if anyone will actually bid?? Last time I put a car on eBay I got nothing but a bunch of time-wasters. We shall see.
Classic cars are painful for the wallet, but incredibly good for the soul. The pitfalls and pains, as well as the joys and exhilerations of running classic cars. Read about the ups and downs of running a Fiat 500 Berlina F (and probably something else soon enough, since the Lotus has parted).

It must be breaking your heart having to sell her, but children seem to make things happen that would otherwise have seemed impossible.
I can only wish for you that you find a buyer, make a bundle and that your buyer shows up on the first of September so that you can enjoy the summer till the end.
