1974 Lotus Elite Type 75 for sale SOLD
First registered in November 1974 this 502 Elite has got to be one of the most original cars on the road.

A body off restoration was carried out over a period of 6 years and commissioned by London James classic cars in 2018.
Chassis was stripped back and metal replaced before being powder coated. New brake line, fuel lines and front and rear suspension bushes were fitted.

The boot carpet is missing.
