Description
In broad terms, the restoration began in the 1970s when the body was removed from the chassis and the frame was refurbished. The body shell was stored in a separate garage, which unfortunately later caught fire, destroying it completely. The story that followed—including the search for a replacement body, the subsequent restoration work, and the eventual roadworthiness inspection—is documented in the eleven issues of Klassiker magazine that accompany this Lotus.
Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The car runs excellently and has been well maintained and restored. The tachometer operates intermittently. The car was fitted with a new wiring harness/electrical system between 2014 and 2016 and has since covered only approximately 1,700 km (about 1,060 miles). Since 2016, the car has been driven very little and has mostly been in storage, so an inspection of the electrical connections is recommended to ensure that no corrosion has developed. The tachometer operates intermittently.
-
Interior condition
The interior is in excellent condition with only minor signs of use. All wood trim is in fine condition. A handsome sports steering wheel is fitted, and the original steering wheel is included.
-
Exterior condition
The paintwork is in very fine condition and free from any notable damage. All chrome trim is in excellent order. The sunroof is complete and well preserved, opening and closing with ease. The car is fitted with knock-off wire wheels and benefits from a set of new tyres.
-
General condition
A desirable sports car in top condition that is just as enjoyable on twisting back roads as it is on the Autobahn.
