Posted: Tue May 01, 2018 7:26 pm
Due to lack of use, this Scotland based 1972 Lotus Elan Sprint, Big Valve, Coupe is for sale. Price is ?35.000.00.
Freshly passed MoT road certification, April 10, 2018. The car is located between Glasgow and Stirling just off the M80.
Chassis/Vin No. 7110240363E
Eng. no. ..........n25167
Mileage when acquired. 2124
Mileage now. 2446 approx.
This RHD car came off the production line at Hethel in Oct 1971, however, not registered until March 1972. Originally sold new as a kit.
Tim Wilkes kindly approved authenticity of this car.
The paint is decent however a few cracks on hood and bonnet as well as LHS rear wing (see photos). Engine runs extremely well and is strong, no accidents, genuine Lotus galvanized chassis installed in early 80?s at time of full professional restoration arranged by previous owner who, hardly drove the car, it was parked for years until we purchased it. As the Sprint chassis were black from factory, the chassis on this car was primed and painted black.
The speedo must have been changed at time of restoration as the miles are low, you will see over the last 6/7 years of our ownership, we did very few miles, hence putting up for sale.
When we got the car we installed a new dash, new head liner, new tyres, 2 new rotoflex doughnuts (only 2 as it has Spyder drive shafts) as well as completing a full service. Powder coated the wheels to original black, painted the bumpers back to original gold, fitted trim rings, installed Spyder tach electronic kit then, polished and detailed it.
This car has passed MOT?s each year of our ownership.
This Sprint was comprehensively restored in the early 80?s by a Lotus technician in Edinburgh, arranged by previous owner.
Some key components of this car;
Electronic ignition.
Spyder Design electronic tach (recent)
Full Stainless exhaust with polished headers.
Aeroquip brake hoses.
Spyder drive shafts.
Alternator upgrade.
Full repaint in Cranival Red.
Transmission refurbished.
Complete engine rebuild done by QED, with VJ5 cams, ported and polished as well as balanced combustion chambers.
Tufride and balanced crankshaft, blueprinted, baffled oil sump. A lovely engine with hardly any miles on it!
No accidents.
Any questions please do not hesitate to ask, the car is ready to go and, available for viewing upon request. Any viewing will be arranged by a, Mr. William Ferguson, who is on title for this car albeit we both share ownership, Mr. Ferguson has full approval to show and sell this car.
