46-Years Owned 1962 Lotus Elite Series I Project

Subsequently used as a daily driver for 10 years and about 50k miles, the car reportedly retains its original 1,200cc Coventry Climax inline-four. The body was restored and repainted, and the engine was re-installed. It is now offered with engine rebuild and body restoration receipts as well as a clean Maryland title. The body restoration was completed in 2002. Many new components were also installed, including the glass, side curtains, bumpers, exterior trim, the entire suspension system, and new wire wheels. Inside, the seats and door panels have been reupholstered to match the originals, but the cabin sound deadening and carpeting have not been installed. In 1982, local shop Hutton Motor Engineering performed a full rebuild of the engine, with receipts for the work included with the sale. Several undercarriage pictures have been provided showing the refinished body and new suspension components fitted during the 2000-2002 body refresh.
