Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

1577 126hp, 4 speed, stainless steel exhaust, Spax adjustable shocks, black steel wheels with spinner centers and chrome trim rings, Vredestein Sprint tires, black cloth top boot, wood shift knob, wood veneer dash, Pioneer cassette stereo.

Condition

Repainted on the yellow orange section, but the white is original, as is the interior Southern California car Engine rebuilt at 90,000 miles New dash Several dings on the nose, several cracks above the Lotus badge, touch ups on the hood, long cracks running down from the passenger window, crazing on the trunk and small blisters to the rest of the trunk Ironically, its on the repainted portion of the body where all of the flaws are found The original white is soundVery good interior Clean engine bay and undercarriage Vintage Lotuses are never perfect, a generalization amply supported by this Elan Sprint, but this is sound and would make an entertaining driver

Market commentary

A genuine Sprint is the Elan to have and this is a good example, but the price is high.
