Lot #: 005 - 1960 Lotus Elite Series 1
The Lotus Elite was one of the world’s first sports cars to utilize a lightweight fiberglass monocoque body shell as a stressed member or active structural element. Thanks to its extremely light weight of only some 1,450 lbs, the Elite was a true “giant killer” with impressive performance from its 75hp, 1.2L Coventry Climax inline 4-cylinder engine and nimble, race-worthy handling,
The Elite remains one of the finest and certainly one of the most innovative sports cars from the glorious postwar “Golden Age” of British motorsports. It also continues to demonstrate the all-out commitment of Lotus founder and driving force Colin Chapman to race-winning performance and sophistication, leaving no doubt in anyone’s mind that the firm would dominate sports racing, road car, and eventually, Formula 1.
Retaining full matching numbers and beautifully presented as a show-worthy Lotus that is sure to deliver a thrilling driving experience, this wonderfully restored and presented 1960 Elite only requires an enthusiastic new owner to savor its many delights.
