Lotus Elan S4 1969 - Race car

This my Lotus Elan which I have owned since 1986. I was racing in CSCC Swinging Sixties but when my father became ill all the fun stuff stopped. The engine was rebuilt for the new season but never fitted – I have just fitted it prior to sale and has done no track mileage or road come to that.

The speedo has just been refitted so that you have it. It is not fitted square so that the trip reset is away from the leg area.

Brake calipers have been resealed and the tyres were brought for the new season 2018 so now old. The fire extinguisher is out of date.
