Lotus 49: value questions answered

How much is a Lotus 49 worth?
A good, usable UK example of the Lotus 49 is worth around £3m on the AutoIndex index. A project car that needs restoration is nearer £1.8m, and a concours-quality example around £4.5m. Condition moves the price more than anything else.
What makes one 49 worth more than another?
  • Service history and paperwork — complete, stamped, explained
  • Mileage against the norm for the model
  • Originality — matching numbers, original paint and trim
  • Specification — gearbox, colour, factory options
  • UK-supplied versus imported
Is the 49 I'm looking at fairly priced?
Enter its asking price and condition in the price check above. It compares the price with the index for that condition and tells you what to ask the seller about.
How many 49 cars were built?
