Descrição
Tax and MOT exempt - 1977 Lotus Elite requiring full restoration.
I have owned this car for over 8 years and it was sold to me as a stalled restoration project. It is clear to me now that I will not live long enough to rescue all the cars currently in my custody so, sadly, this one has to go. I bought the car originally because I love the metallic blue colour and in my opinion, is one of the best looking options for this model. The previous owner told me that it ran well - but I have not tried to start it. The engine turns freely by hand. Some of the trim, bumpers and lights have been removed but, as far as I can see, most of the parts are present. If you are not familiar with this model of Lotus there is an excellent period BBC Look East documentary on you-tube which tells some of the story behind the design and development of the Elite M50 model pre-production - details above
