Description

motodrome offer for sale this iconic 1969 Lotus Elan Series 4 Fixed Head Coupe.

I will start by stating , that whilst this one is dressed as an Elan Sprint, for the avoidance of doubt it’s actually a Series 4, not an original Sprint.

This one has just come to us directly from the last owner, who’s had it since 1998.

He’s very well-known in Elan racing circles, and is obviously steeped in them, and he built this one with what he regards as the ideal setup for road use, with twin Webers in place of the original Strombergs, Sprint cams etc.

It’s an original 1969 ‘black badge’ example, with the correct badging and Colin Chapman signed steering wheel.

It was fully stripped and rebuilt around a new galvanised chassis between 2005 and 2010, and painted in Gold Leaf colours, and years on it still looks very sharp.

It’s further fitted with unleaded conversion, stainless exhaust, solid rear driveshafts, Spyder Engineering front wishbones, adjustable shock absorbers, a larger capacity radiator, and an alumninium fuel tank.

History wise, we have details of all the previous owners from new, details of the 1998 engine rebuild/upgrade using QED parts, and various bills and old MOT’s back to the late 1970’s

As ever with these legendary cars, the driving experience is pin sharp.

On our own website, you’ll find our usual two videos: a walkaround appraisal, and driving impressions, which form part of the description.
