Description

Lotus Elan Sprint DHC, 1972. I sold this Sprint 41 years ago to a good friend of mine. He had the Elan for over 30 years and he sold it my best friend who then owned it for 8 years. I never thought I would ever own it again! A truly wonderful example having had a stunning full repaint costing nearly £20k (my friend being a very fastidious gentleman and Lotus Historian!). Superb in Lotus Yellow over Cirrus White. We have just fitted a new mohair hood and tonneau which is tailored around the detachable roll hoop. Aluminium fuel tank. Just 65k miles with masses of history going back to when I bought the Sprint in 1984 from a gentleman in the South of England. His other car was a virtually new Rolls Royce Silver Shadow. This really is a very special car to me as I’ve seen and driven it over this long period of time as both my friends still live just 12 miles away from us. Delivery worldwide
