IS THIS A SPRINT OR NOT?

Can any of you marque experts tell me if you think this car is a Sprint version of the S4? Thanks

Way too early for a sprint. It's an S4 with Sprint paint job.

It needs a huge amount of work by the looks of it. I would think in terms of new shell, new chassis and N/S suspension, wheel, headlight pod just for starters.

You may be able to get away with a new front for the shell, but it looks like a heavy impact. With such an impact, shock waves are transmitted throughout the shell, and it can crack all over in time.

I bought a really original S4 dhc on eBay a couple of years ago for ?5k....needs mechanical restoration but a much better place to start. Bid with caution...and not too much!!

Yep, Mark is absolutely correct. Sprints had not been dreamt up when this S4 came off the production line.

All Sprints are listed at www.lotuselansprint.com
