Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Wobbly wheels, braced driver's rollbar, Ford 1600cc twin cam engine with Weber carbs, Hewland 5-speed transaxle.

Condition

Sharp, fresh, beautiful, complete restoration way better than when it left Lotus, and probably safer, too.

Market commentary

Sold by Gooding at Amelia Island in 2011 for $203,500, offered by RM in Arizona last year with a high bid of $130,000. It does not appear to have had any track use at all since 2011. This is a magnificently restored and presented Lotus, ready for track or show field, that brought a reasonable price.
