Lot details Registration No: YYA738H Chassis No: 45/9588 Mot Expiry: May 2015
The Lotus Elan S4 offered today is a `matching numbers', period correct `Type 45' Drophead. The twin Weber carburettor-fed engine is reputed to be generating in excess of 117bhp and the car has enjoyed a recent mechanical overhaul, at which point the replacement chassis was fitted with the highly desirable rear solid driveshaft conversion (incorporating sliding spines) and `coil-over' fully adjustable springs and dampers. The cooling system has been enhanced with a larger capacity radiator and twin electric fans. The two-seater also benefits from a new period-correct dashboard, new stainless steel exhaust, recent brake overhaul and major service (including new water pump and timing chain). This highly sought-after roadster comes with a no-advisory MOT until May 2015 and enjoys free `historic' road tax status. The vendor informs us that the bodywork and paintwork is `very good' with the hood, tonneau cover and car cover all being in similar condition.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
