Lotus Exige S automatic, called 29 Sep 2026.
Published before the hammer on 29 Sep 2026, and it will be graded against whatever the car makes. Nothing below is edited once a result is known.
A 2016 Lotus Exige S running on Collecting Cars out of Whyalla, South Australia — black over black and red leather with diamond-quilted inserts and embroidered headrests, 73,416 kilometres indicated and not warranted, Australian-delivered and here since new, VIN SCCLKGSC8GHC20040, with the supercharged 3.5-litre V6 on the six-speed automatic with paddles. Staggered 17 and 18-inch twin five-spoke wheels on Yokohama Advan Neova, red AP Racing callipers, xenons, rear sensors, Dynamic Performance Management, air, digital dash. Aftermarket taillights, a Pioneer head unit, a carbon rear wing and a Momo wheel. All handbooks, previous paperwork and two keys, last serviced October 2025 at 66,982 kilometres. 2,345 views and 119 saves when called, which is a lot of attention for a model that trades about eight times a year. Bidders had asked about accidents and track use, who maintains it, and for the service book to be uploaded.
Its two Australian results are both from 2022 and the value had been set against them unindexed. Carried to 55,000 kilometres on the current distance curve and indexed to 2026 on the European-performance series, they imply $87,900 and $79,600, and the value moved from $95,000 to $84,000.
Minus 6.0 for 73,416 kilometres against the 46,000 expected of a 2016, plus 6 for the last year of the run, minus 12 for the automatic, and minus 3 for the taillights, head unit, wing and wheel. Composed, minus 14.9 per cent, and $71,460.
Neither local result was an automatic. Twelve is a judgement for a car bought to be driven, set above the eight this desk used on a Toyota 86 because the buyer for an Exige is further toward the manual.
Predicted hammer $55,000 to $91,000, midpoint $71,500.
119 saves, an Australian car with its paperwork, and this record's own finding that well-executed changes on this model have not been discounted.
No Australian Exige S has traded since 2022, so this result sets the level as much as it tests one, and the room may price the gearbox harder than twelve.
The call is a prediction of one hammer. The record behind it is the Australian evidence for the model as a whole, and it carries its own grade for how much of that evidence exists.
