Full vehicle history report

Description

Presented in a striking blue and maintained in pristine condition, this Lotus represents a rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously rebuilt and exceptionally well-sorted example.

The car has undergone a careful, long-term restoration carried out by highly regarded specialists. The bodywork was professionally reinforced using fibreglass with carbon and Kevlar, completed by craftsmen associated with the Britten team. This reinforcement creates a much stiffer and stronger structure than standard fibreglass construction, significantly improving rigidity and overall feel.

The engine has been fully rebuilt by a former top-level motorsport mechanic, and the car features a new chassis, with geometry professionally aligned by an engineering specialist. The result is a car that drives tight, precise, and confidence-inspiring.

A complete rebuild was later completed by Robert Snow at McGregor Motorsport, including a new wiring loom and numerous mechanical refinements, ensuring reliability and performance throughout.

The vehicle has always been garaged, covered, and carefully stored, with minimal use and no winter driving.
