The company has served enthusiasts, collectors, racing teams, and specialty shops for decades, earning a reputation for quality, technical expertise, and hard-to-find components.
This opportunity includes a large, curated inventory of Lotus performance and replacement parts with an estimated retail value exceeding $2.3+ million and a cost basis of approximately $850,000. Inventory includes OEM components, new-old-stock, aftermarket parts, and several proprietary engineered upgrades originally designed to improve reliability and performance over factory parts.
