1990 Lotus

Est £7,000 - £10,000

This car is in auction on The Market website. The auction is LIVE now and finishes on 2nd April. Price is an estimate.

The seller bought the Elan last April from Classic Car specialists Hilton and Moss in Bishop’s Stortford. They are the sister company to Castle Sports Cars in Essex, who are renowned TVR and Lotus specialists.

The previous owner was a perfectionist who spared no expense keeping the car in tip top order, as can be seen from the extensive history file. He spent a fortune, so why he parted with the car is anyone’s guess.

Our seller has found that he is not using the car as much as he would like and once the world returns to normal, he will need a car for regular trips between London and Devon and feels this lovely classic deserves a gentler life in the slow lane.

He has endeavoured to continue the good works of previous custodians, spending time attending to various small jobs that needed doing.

The car is the extremely rare non turbo model, but it is still perky enough to have some fun behind the wheel.

We are reliably informed it drives well, handles like a dream and still has the ability to turn heads. No surprise there.

Low miles, just 49,746 and 3 loving owners, this must be one of the best examples still in existence.
