I'm the original owner of a red ,1980k first generation Lotus Competition, and I'm preparing to sell it.I believe that you have photos of it o your site, I'm the person who submitted those photos,and that's my bike, the one that I'm prepairing to sell. In the next week or two I'm going to list it on eBay. I'm not sure of it's value, but with a slight idea as to it's desirability, it seems to me that an auction venue is the est, and fairest way to offer it to the public, and collectors. My eBay name is Steamer*1, and I just wanted to let the "Lotus" world know that I'm prepairing to sell it. WHY sell? Geezzzz, I bought it 32 years ago when I was 30, to basically replace the Raleigh international, but by that time (age 30) I was off living life, and never really road the Lotus. I'm suspect that it may have 200 miles on it total. Any way, I know that it's a pretty cool bike (always was) and at 62, I think that I'd just like to "pass it on" to some one who will enjoy it. Why this time of year? I thought that it might make a nice Christmas gift for a Lotus enthusiast....If it sells, I'll miss it, but not because of the "ride", but ecause of the memories of why I ought it, why I kept it, and who I was those 32 years ago. So this is just a heads up to the Lotus Bike crowd, that I'm going to be putting my original (200 mile or less) first Generation Lotus comp on the market. Thanks. Respectfully Stan L.

Thank you for this webpage. Keeping Lotus and Legend lovers alive. Just refurbished mine 30 years since I bought it and riding it with pleasure. A little slower and the rides a little shorter but just as enjoyable.

I have a lotus triathlon bike it has the 24 in front wheel. I don't know to much about it but it has been a great bike. I'm using it in my mini races.

I have owned a burgany CLASSIQUE for a number of years. I upgraded it with new wheels and shifters. It is beautiful and a fantastic ride. Since it has been upgraded, you probably are not interested in a photo.
