1962 LOTUS ELITE SE SERIES 2 COVENTRY CLIMAX 1.2 2DR

The Lotus (Type 14) Elite was first launched at the 1957 motor show and was the worlds first all fibreglass monocoque chassis production sports car - Only 1000 were produced over the next 4 years with significant numbers being sold to the US. This particular example has only had 4 owners from new and has an exceptional provenance. It comes supplied with a plethora of paperwork including the original brown V5, heritage certificate, awards, press articles, bills , receipts for works carried out over the years and many detailed photos of the full restoration that was carried out in 2000. This is a rare opportunity to own such an exceptional piece of Lotus history and we believe that it will be hard to find a better example. A must have for the serious collector of British automobiles - We strongly recommend that seriously interested parties arrange a viewing to fully appreciate the quality of works that have been carried out - Any Inspection Welcome - Viewing by Appointment Only

Lovely, except for the later BL parts bin door mirror.

Never notice how far forward the front wheels are placed. The Mercedes SLR McLaren looks similar.

I think there are a few manufacturers that have taken styling from this model. A beautiful car and also pretty significant in that it was the first Fibre Glass Monocoque Chassis car produced and only 1000 were made.

It makes 21century Lotus' look like kit car rubbish.
