1961 Lotus Other

Lotus Other (1961)
for sale

Price: US $1,000.00

Description:

This is a RHD Lotus elite race car without a power train. This Lotus race car came out of England in 1983 from a noted race preparation expert, the car has been fitted with 60 spoke wheels, fuel cell, full roll cage and halon fire extinguishing system ducted to the engine and driver compartments: the paint and upholstery are both very attractive.
This car would be a lovely automobile to take vintage racing, or with very little effort would be a presentable street car.
The Elite was sold at Lime Rock at public auction in 1991. The Lotus was bought by a woman who raced it and I was advised that she was in her 60's when she purchased the car. The car came with no log books.
The car had been fitted with a series 2 motor and I clearly have not figured out what the true chassis number to this car is, I believe this is a series 1 car. Mike Ostrov has attempted to sort out the serial number a while back without success.
NO RESERVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The car is available for inspection in Oceanside California, the car does have a title.
