Description
Mine for 17 years, now reluctantly for sale due to advancing years. New Lotus chassis fitted by Miles Wilkins. Full back to gel coat re-paint in 2013, recently refreshed by the same operator and looking stunning. Very original interior in fine condition, new original Dunlop pattern alloy wheels recently fitted. Massive history file going back to 1977 with many receipts, old MoT certificates and handwritten reports recorded in A4 ledger. Engine rebuilt at 52000 miles, cylinder head rebuilt again in 2017. Five speed gearbox re-built at 70000 miles. Spyder semi-solid driveshafts fitted with both rotoflex couplings just replaced.
This car was featured on the cover of Classic and Sportscar July 2012 and also more recently in Classics Monthly (October 2023) I exhibited it on the Club Lotus stand at the 2017 Classic Motor Show, Birmingham NEC. Although Tax and MoT exempt, I still have the car tested every year, the current MoT expires April 2025.
