For sale is our Lotus, a project we pulled out of a driveway about ten years ago and accomplished quite a few things - but of course since it's a 50 year old British car, it's still an ongoing project.  Four speed transmission, power windows, odometer indicates 67,600 miles. Car is located in Red Lion, Pennsylvania. Asking 27,500.


Good stuff:

Fresh paint, graphics, windshield, engine lid six years ago.  Also added a metal frame with hydraulic supports for the engine lid, makes life easier.

Fresh engine rebuild about 1000 miles ( a couple years) ago.   Is running on Fast EFI programable fuel injection with Jenvey throttle bodies on adapters for the SU flanges.  Original Zenith carbs are included.

Recent aluminum radiator and fan.

Fuel tanks rebuilt.

Recent Spax adjustable shocks, new springs.

Seats recovered in new vinyl and Scottish tartan fabric about 8 years ago.

Quick release steering wheel - makes it TONS easier to get in and out of.

Bumpers were rechromed many years ago and were still in protective wrap when we got the car.  Installed now and they look brilliant.

Original wheels, trunk bin, wood dash, rear shock upright, brake boosters, workshop manual, and a couple other things come with.

Bad stuff:

Tach and fuel guage don't work.

Trans/axle output shaft seals leak.

I love everything about this car.  Do you have any videos at an autocross or on track?

I do have a video, need to figure out how to upload it.  Here's another pic - since I'm a 'new' user I can only post once an hour.  I kinda laugh about the 'new' bit, I was a regular on here about 20 years ago when we built a Challenge car but I'm sure the forum platform has changed a few times since.
