Description:

This is a no expense spared ultimate incarnation of a racing Lotus Elite. Every imaginable tweak has been
performed as a personal project by IMSA driver and ESPN commentator Bob Akin. Th car is dominant whenever it
appears but remains street legal, with full lighting and even a horn. The incredibly advanced chassisless
fibreglass bodyshell has had every internal box section completely foamed to provide exceptional torsional
rigidity. A full roll cage has been fabricated which picks up the top of the rear shock towers, acting
as a cross brace and providing rollover protection. The car also features a fully adjustable suspension
and double adjustable Koni dampers. The body shell has undergone extensive aerodynamic development to the
point of have the bumpers removed and join lines smoothed, rain gutters faired in, and even has the filler
cap moved inside. This car is completely sorted by a career professional driver and certainly is the
ultimate racing Elite.

The car left the production line on the 9th of May, 1960 as a Series One car. The car was sold from the

it about eight years ago, at which point he began it's intense development.
