I can't understand why someone would spend that much on an old Lotus?

Must be a really big fan.

I don't know which one of the two cars it was, but I remember seeing one of them on display in the lobby of Malibu Grand Prix in Redwood City, California in the late 1970's. It was dressed up in the underwater configuration with guidance fins on the front fenders and lines of black tape on the back window to give it a more aquatic look.
