Not surprisingly there was a collective sigh, not only at the sale price, but also of relief when it was realized that the car was staying Down Under. Similar sighs were heard when the Lotus 39 was also sold to an Australian bidder for Aus$360,000.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Lotus 16 and 63 sold for Aus$350,000 and Aus$226,000, respectively, and are bound for a U.S. museum, while the ex-Andretti Lotus 79 went for an impressive Aus$575,000 to a Japanese Lotus enthusiast.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It looked as if the Lotus 18 was destined to be the ugly duckling as it remained unsold but, despite its nonrunning condition, it did sell following subsequent negotiations for Aus$200,000\u2014including buyer\u2019s premium.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_765524\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-765524\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/n1-200902-p3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-765524 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/n1-200902-p3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/n1-200902-p3.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/n1-200902-p3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/n1-200902-p3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/n1-200902-p3-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/n1-200902-p3-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/n1-200902-p3-293x220.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-765524\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scheduled for residency in an unnamed American museum after fetching Aus$350,000 at the auction is this ex-Alan Stacey\/Bob King Lotus 16 Formula 2 machine from 1959.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As they say in the classics, \u201cThat\u2019s not all folks,\u201d as quite a number of other interesting cars were also sold on that day.
