It takes a significant amount of élan–energy and enthusiasm–to refresh a classic automobile. Apparently, this 1968 Lotus has inspired a great deal of it.
This 49,000-mile Plus 2 specimen was recommissioned after being stored for a lengthy stretch of time. In 2006, it was repainted in its factory shade of yellow. It now has a refurbished vinyl cover for its sunroof, as well as a “new … roof lining just fitted with material similar to original.” The “brakes, callipers, discs, steering rack, and bushes [have been] replaced.”
Under the hood, this four-seater has a rebuilt engine (connected to a reconstructed transmission), a refurbished head and clean Weber carburetors. The radiator and clutch are new pieces of hardware. However, some components, such as the interior, chrome, and chassis have survived since ’68.
