Selling or Buying a 1977 Lotus Eclat?

Launched in 1974, the Lotus Eclat was a front-engine, rear drive coupe based on the Lotus Elite Plus 2. With its fastback body style, the Eclat offered more trunk space. The fabrication was a combination of fiberglass structure and steel chassis, which contributed to keeping the weight low. The 1977 Lotus Eclat was a series 1, fitted with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine. The unit produced a satisfying 160 hp, which offered plenty enough power considering the car’s weight. Equipped with disc brakes in the front, drums in the rear, all independent wheels, and an elaborate suspension system, the Lotus Eclat was a highly enjoyable sports car with stellar handling. Design-wise, the Eclat was modern and fashionable with its straight lines, sharp angles, and iconic pop-up lights.
