Description:

Very original car with original engine and gearbox. This Lotus was "discovered" in 1999 on a used car lot where it was advertised as a street car and was registered as such. Its street conversion is what saved the car from race damage and modifications. Fortunately, the street modifications were only superficial fibreglass parts added to the body with no impact on the frame. The car has been the subject of a complete bare frame restoration to bring it up to current safety standards, but without affecting the originality. New parts include: fuel cell, windshield, dry sump tank, dry sump pump, Willans seat belts, stub axles, wheels, rebuilt calipers and master cylinders, seat, engine cover, pistons and many smaller items. Engine has dyno time only since rebuild.
