This is a beautiful clean Lotus Elan. It has new paint from a high level restoration paint shop specializing in
fiberglass. This car shows 27000 miles. I can’t guarantee it but believe it’s true. The body was extremely
clean when stripped of paint. The engine had the head removed to fix an oil leak that happens from the ageing of a
rubber hose on the side of the engine that occurs on all twin cam lotuses. While we were in there we put in a new
water pump -- with the head being off. Brakes and steering area tie rod ends bushings and etc. replaced. The rubber
donut drive axle couplings which are part of the rear drive mechanism were replaced. New master cylinder and brake
cylinders rebuilt. New rear main engine seal replaced and while there the clutch was replaced. Top, wood dash, and
center console are also new. Seats seem good except for small cut in passenger seat that you have to look for.
Speedometer does run too fast and will need to be sent off for repair. Electrically I think everything works. This
car runs beautifully. It's fast and it handles amazing like a Lotus should.
The rubber donuts are new with restoration.
Tires are approximately 3 years old and are lower cost tires but have almost new tread.
99% sure frame is original. I do not have a full history of this car.
Leaks were fixed with rear main seal replacement and side engine hose. No other leaks are known.
Radiator was removed and cleaned and the car never over heats. Gas tank was cleaned and coated.

This car has never been driven in the rain while I’ve owned it. The wipers work great but I've never paid any
attention to the washers.

Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video

Mon, Dec 7 2015

With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.

Lotus F1 confirms Grosjean, Maldonado for 2015

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

With the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix now just ten days away, the focus is beginning to shift to next year's Formula One World Championship, with more and more pieces to the puzzle falling into place. And the latest news comes from the Lotus team. The Enstone-based outfit has confirmed that it's keeping both its drivers right where they are for next season, with Romain Grosjean partnering Pastor Maldonado once again.
Swiss driver Grosjean, now 28 years old, made his grand prix debut with the team in 2009, returned as test driver in 2011 while winning the GP2 title, returned to the F1 grid in 2012 and has been driving for the team ever since. He's scored nine podium finishes to date, but has finished no better than his eighth place this season.
Venezuelan pilot Maldonado, 29, won the GP2 the year before his teammate, and moved up to F1 with Williams, for whom he drove for three seasons before switching to Lotus for this one. He shocked the field when he won the Spanish Grand Prix in 2012, but has only finished in the points once this season.

Lotus C-01 motorcycle rumored to get 200-hp V-twin engine

Sun, 12 Jan 2014

Back in June, Lotus announced it was getting into the motorcycle business. Or, we should say, Kodewa and the Holzer Group are getting into the motorcycle business, and have acquired the rights to use the Lotus name. One way or another, we're now receiving word on some of the specs we can expect from the prototype dubbed C-01.
The Lotus motorcycle is being designed by Daniel Simon, the automotive futurist who has penned, among other things, the light-cycles for Tron: Legacy and the livery on the LMP2 racer Kodewa also fields under the Lotus name. So you know it's going to look pretty awesome, but what will make it go?
According to Visor Down, the C-01 is being tested with a V-twin engine sourced from an undisclosed supplier that produces 170 horsepower in stock trim but has been tuned to produce nearly 200 hp in Lotus trim. A pair of prototypes - one with carbon-fiber bodywork and one without - have already undergone several thousand kilometers of testing, and are said to be handling "very well."
