Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD, painted wire wheels. 6,000 miles on 75 hp Climax engine rebuilt in 1977, 78,500 miles overall. Original throughout and little used in recent years.

Market commentary

Elites came with up to 105 hp from their Climax FWEs. 75 hp is barely enough to enjoy Colin Chapmans excellent chassis and innovative fully fiberglass monocoque. The result recognizes originality with a price that is more appropriate for more power.
