Description

The only one of its kind - a Type 49 in blue. Four Lotus Managers did not like the 'red over white' Gold Leaf colour scheme so chose their own. A Certificate of Provenance and letter from the Lotus Archivist substantiate this. Owned and cherished by us since 2007. Four previous owners. 55k miles.

Immaculate condition throughout, having never been wet in our ownership (not even washed!) and kept under a Club Lotus car cover in a dry garage. Full Service History in her stamped service book, the last one being on 24th June 2024 with a full years MOT.

Although a standard engine, she had an ITG induction kit and larger throttle bodies fitted before our ownership and seems to 'take off' quicker than my S2 Sport 190! She has a Dyno test of 130bhp in the documentation. Yokohama Advan Neova tyres all round with near maximum tread on each.

Featured in Practical Classic Magazine's Guide to buying a Lotus.

Happy to chat about 'Eleanor' if I have missed out any details.
