Is there some sort of recourse? no, just as any other car part you buy.
He probably didn't sleep much last night, thinking of things but when he got up, the verdict is all will go: the 911, the Lotus, the 930, what is left of the Focus RS, the 4 post lift and the scissor lift. Now how to go about off loading everything is the question.

Well, that certainly sucks. But if you're serious,(kind of hope you are not) send me a PM or an email. I'll actually be in Central tomorrow. Visting family in Clemson and going to something called "Touch the Trucks" with the nieces and nephews there in Central tomorrow morning. Can't say I am a Lotus fan, but I know a few in the area.
