A great opportunity to keep a British legend on the road
Lots of paperwork
Huge amount of parts
Restoration already started
Here we have a chance to get yourself something to do over the coming winter nights - a Lotus Elan! It is believed to be an S130, which was UK supplied and with only 4 previous owners but please check and satisfy yourself that you are happy with what it is. It is without doubt a project for somebody, which looks as if it has been started but due to ill health has stalled. There are a lot of accompanying parts, but we can’t guarantee everything is there so please come and see it to make up your own mind as to what comes with it. Nevertheless, it is a great opportunity to get yourself a Lotus Elan, especially as it is being offered at no reserve.
The paperwork is from days gone by, but it has been looked after by some great Lotus names such as Paul Matty Cars, QED and Spydersport amongst others. It’s always nice to have older paperwork with your classic. The Lotus has had only 4 previous owners throughout its life, and has been in the ownership of our vendor for 40 years who only bought it because children came along and they needed the rear seats. He traded in a Europa for it, so the vendor is a proper Lotus enthusiast, which is nice to see.
PLEASE NOTE: The V5/ C has been misplaced, so the successful purchaser will need to apply for a new one with the DVLA.
