Lotus Elan SE Turbo

60,000 miles

£SOLD

 

Colin Chapman's USP was to build cars that handled like no other... not necessarily through horse-power, but by stealth and built-in lightness. Our gorgeous early series one Elan Turbo SE looks fabulous in period Lotus Pacific Blue and has been enthusiast owned from new, covering a mere 60,000 miles over the last 29 years. Our vendor bought her from the local Lotus Club Chairman! She is in excellent condition throughout and has an unmarked charcoal grey, part leather sports interior with electric windows, mirrors, central locking and a rare option Air Conditioning system. Her record of history is impeccable with a lever arch file chock full of Invoices and every MOT from new, a fully stamped Service book and all original handbooks. Engine bay and boot areas are like new, with the latter still containing a full Lotus tool kit. There are nearly new Toyo Proxes tyres all round and there are invoices for a new hood and all weather seals at a cost of over £2000. She drives particularly well with unsurpassed handling and particularly lively turbo charged power delivery. Her increasing rarity and pure driving pleasure ensure a shrewd future investment. .
