LotusElan17 Posted April 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) The red Riviera was sold onto a fellow forum member, awaiting full restoration. The problem I am finding at the moment is no one is prepared to pay what a restored car is worth, refurbished a white Eclat S2 in December, with labour probably owes me in the region of £20K including many new parts, low mileage and one of the best available yet had zero interest for nearly 4 months advertising at what I considered a very reasonable £12K, if it wasn’t for the scammers contacting me I would be feeling rather paranoid!!!!!! They will be appreciated one day, trouble is I have been saying that for 30 years and have been only proved partially right, maybe another 30 years. if you are interested in the silver Riviera I will introduce you to Alister at some point, I am in the middle of moving house at the mo but can arrange a meet in the not too distant future, he is not far from Cambridge.

BrianandAstrid Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Yeah would be good to meet him, yes these cars do seem very under valued for what they are. are you moving far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotusElan17 Posted April 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Not too far, will let you know when the Riviera is available, will you be selling your Eclat? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianandAstrid Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 I would like to keep my Eclat as well but the garage is getting a bit full! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJR Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 I'm looking for a Riviera Eclat, have been for a while and now I hear of three that might be available all at once!! That's presuming it's not the same car from three different sources Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotusElan17 Posted April 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 The silver Riviera hasn’t been advertised, not aware of any other ones that have recently been listed apart from the black “is it or isn’t it a Riviera” that was sold at auction last year.

LJR Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 someone at the NEC restoration show approached the Excel stand saying they had one for sale and there is a black one with black leather that I'm waiting for photos to come through of. There is also a blue RHD one in Germany and a silver one in Italy for sale at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
