General description :
Lotus Elan S3 Convertible 1967 for sale
Exterior: Personally, I love British Racing Green on any car, and I think it is very suitable for the Elan. The paint itself is in a very good condition or close to perfect. The black soft top that nobody ever uses is also in a good condition. The wheels have just been sandblasted, painted and received new chrome rings and lug nuts. Also fitted with new tyres in correct size.
Interior: Seats, carpets etc are all in a very good condition. There are a few cracks in the wood, otherwise everything inside the car looks very nice.
Engine: Engine has been serviced recently and the carburettors tuned by Local Lotus specialist. Clutch cylinder was just replaced, and the brakes just had a complete revision. Always start easily and runs perfectly. This car still has the original frame/chassis and it is in a very good condition.
History: This car came from U.K .already back in 1977 and was first registered in Sweden on the 16th of August 1977. The first owner in Sweden had the car for 30 years and then it has changed hands a couple of times. Comes with a binder where a lot of invoices, copies of Swedish MOT etc were collected over the years and a workshop manual.
The Lotus Elan is a British sports car that was produced by Lotus Cars from 1962 to 1973. It was designed by Lotus founder Colin Chapman and is considered a classic example of British sports car design.
The Elan was powered by a 1.6-liter inline-four engine that produced up to 118 horsepower. It also featured advanced suspension and braking systems, with four-wheel independent suspension and disc brakes on all four wheels.
The Lotus Elan was known for its exceptional handling and performance, with a top speed of up to 120 mph and acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 7 seconds. Its lightweight fiberglass body and advanced suspension system made it a popular choice among sports car enthusiasts of the time.
