Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD, painted wire wheels. The single SU gives the Coventry Climax FWE only 85hp. Autosport road test car from the Lotus Museum with 3,573 miles and essentially new.

Market commentary

Series II cars have a revised (and better) rear suspension and squeeze 5 more hp out of the FWE. Even better are the Supers, with twin SUs and up to 105 hp. This result was fair to both seller and buyer.
