1960 Lotus Elite Gray with Blue/Red Strip Series II Stage III Spec.

The Lotus Elite is a technological marvel and a thrilling car to race. Featuring an almost entirely fiberglass chassis and rack-and-pinion steering, it handles like a dream. Converted from a street car to a race car, it weighs only 1,300 lbs. In classic Lotus fashion, its light weight ensures tight cornering and smooth acceleration. The Elite has proven highly successful in competition, including six class wins over six years at Le Mans.

This particular model was converted from a street car into a race car around 1980. Following the conversion, it was upgraded with a dual-circuit brake system, fuel cell, and Aeroquip standard fuel, oil, and brake lines. With twin Weber carburetors and a ZF transmission, this Elite boasts the most desirable specifications for both collectability and performance.

This particular Lotus has competed in more than 25 historic race events, frequently finishing at the top of its class. It runs smoothly and starts effortlessly. The original street parts have been retained, allowing the owner to customize the car and make it street legal when needed.
