Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Polished Wolfrace alloy wheels. 21,432 miles, decent paint, good interior. The olive green moleskin velour that Lotus used for interior trim is just plain awful, particularly with a Red car.

Market commentary

Alleged to be the best handling car youll ever drive. You might get to experience it if the S1s inadequate cooling hasnt already cooked the 2 liter motor. With most cars we call a 21K mile example remarkably preserved; with Loti thats high miles.
