Lotus Eclat - Details Unknown

Lotus Eclat - Details Unknown
Spotted in Northallerton, this is a bit of a mystery car as far as I'm concerned.

It sat like this to my knowledge for nearly two years, but recently it disappeared.

The badge says Lotus and it looks kind of 'Espritesque', but I'm pretty sure it's a kit car.

Anyone out there know for sure what it is?

UPDATE: 18/09/14: Now identified as a Lotus Eclat!

Out of my realm of expertise, but my first thought when I saw it was Lotus. Maybe an 1985ish Australian version?

Thanks for that and the fave Norm. Have to say I'm still not convinced it is a Lotus ... some of he lines especially around the rear quarter just don't look right.

It was during the years of Toyota ownership! :-)

Close, but no cigar as they say Norm. However, you do get this week's bonus prize (whatever that is) because your link then lead me here ...

I see what you mean ... I thought that grille on the hood was just a shadow. Looks like you found it to me! :-)

Nice of you to say so Stan, but I feel this is no more than a snap. It has only been posted to try and satisfy my curiosity as to what it really is ... novelty value and little else I feel. :)
