Price: US $570.00
This is a 1978 Lotus Elite 503. This is a rare and great
project car.
This is sold as a Project Car with odometer reading 21390. This old
1978 Lotus may look very clean, however, the running condition is unknown, it
needs a lot of work. Model-wise it’s a 1978 503 Elite (the earlier Type 75), of
which 2, 535 were built from 1974 to 1982. It has been garaged for the past 3
years. It’s a project I had been meaning to have worked on, but just never had
the time.
The red exterior is in very good condition. It’s made of fiberglass which doesn’t
rust. The lotus emblems are held together in the front by tape. The “S” piece from
“Lotus” on the trunk has fallen off but is still with the car. The side mirrors
are still in good working condition. The front bumper has been dismantled.
All tires will need to be replaced.
The interior seating is in good condition, will need to be cleaned. The
flooring and underside into the front will need work. There are parts in the trunk that cannot be
identified. The battery is believed to be locked in the trunk along with other
mechanical parts. The trunk is controlled electrically, it will need to be able
to run in order to access the trunk.
The car is not running and not driving. It is being sold as-is, where-is with
no warranty expressed or implied.
The car is located in Indianapolis and we encourage inspections.
