1967 Lotus Elan Roadster on 2040-cars

This is a great little car. It's got a lot of heart. More importantly is its incredible Power-to Weight Ratio . Nimble steering and the short-throw shift lever make it an absolute joy to drive. Changing gears without an annoying "snick" is the norm with the Elan. Direct and quick =smooth. The car attracts a lot of attention either at MG's on the Rocks or at Cars & Coffee at Hunt Valley. Several upgrades done on my watch are new motor mounts , new starter(have the orig. Lucas), new Dynomax muffler and tailpipe, new Vredestein 155R-13 tires (I like the original look and handling), a Robbins top (new and in box),new points and condenser to replace Pertronix which replaced Luminition. Recent tune-up on Webers to eliminate "bogg" and timing by Merriman's. Modifications. Pat Braden's book helped me smooth out the engine with new "idle " jets 40 f-9. What a tiger she is now! I know of two previous owners who did a great job of maintaining improving /upgrading the car to keep her in very fine condition. Suspect broken speedometer at some time in past, as 24k. miles is perhaps lower than actual. Am selling my Lotus very reluctantly because of a back problem making it difficult to get in and out. I want to see some enthusiast take her on the backroads more often than I am able. Good luck!
On Nov-22-13 at 09:57:38 PST, seller added the following information: Need to insert a few more things that I have thought of regarding the condition of the car , accessories and availability to see it. It is indeed a Series 3 model and I hope the firewall mounted I.D. plate can answer some of your questions regarding its manufacture. Don't know anything about workability of the neat-fitting aftermarket radio/cassette with extending antenna. The drivers side window is showing a scratch as if the roller is askew. The rear-view mirror above the dash is pretty obviously original; the passenger side one is without identifying label, but on the drivers side is a Raydyot. The doughnuts look good and showing no signs of deterioration. Clutch works well, with no sign of slippage. The brakes are good but could need pads ; the rotors are smooth . One bidder has asked to see the car. Of course I will make the car available for inspection for any serious buyer or his agent at a mutually agreeable time. My ownership of the car has lasted about 3 years and 900 miles . The previous elderly owner was not talkative; I believe he had it for 10+ years. So, you must sleuth out the previous owners since she was built. The marketing of the car has been expanded to Worldwide I will continue to answer any serious questions on Ebay. Good Luck |

Lotus Emeya electric sedan revealed like a sleeker Eletre
Fri, Sep 8 2023The number of four-door models in the Lotus line has doubled with the reveal of the Emeya electric sedan. Not surprisingly, it looks very much like the Eletre SUV, just lower and sleeker. The yellow and black debut color just emphasizes that fact, too. What is a bit surprising is the surprising lack of concrete details on the car. We really do mean it when we say this looks like the Eletre. The Emeya utilizes almost the same lines at every point, from the pointy, angry nose to the curvy flanks. But on the whole, the lower height and less overall visual mass makes it a much more successful design. It also adopts the active grille shutters, diffuser and rear spoiler like the Eletre. One thing that does differentiate the exterior of the Emeya is the use of dual running lights on each end of the front fascia. The Emeya's interior again is a near carbon copy of the Eletre's. A single screen is the focal point with an angular dual-cowl dash board surrounding it. A small screen is nestled in the dash behind the steering wheel to provide basic driving information. Extensive use of leather and faux suede is featured throughout. Specifications on the Emeya are lacking detail. It will be available in a dual-motor all-wheel-drive configuration that can reach speeds topping 155 mph. The motors will also get it to 62 mph in a claimed 2.8 seconds. It can take advantage of 350-kW-capable fast chargers, as well. The whole car also rides on an adaptive air suspension. But actual horsepower, torque, battery capacity and much more haven't been given. The Emeya will go into production sometime next year. Naturally, pricing hasn't been announced, either. Being smaller than the Eletre, it may end up being a bit less costly. Stay tuned for more of that information closer to production. Related video:

Listen to the Lotus Evora 400 make lovely noises
Sat, Jul 16 2016Automakers roll out loads of video content these days, but they often do so much editing and add so much background music that you miss out on the best stuff. With this video, Lotus shows they know what's important. This video shows Lotus's Evora 400 spending some time out on their test track in Hethel. The video is quite short and consists mostly of some onboard footage, but Lotus clearly invested in the sound recording. This Evora's 400 horsepower, supercharged V6 sounds brilliant as it screams around the course. We'll be getting a version of this car in the States this year. Lotus intends on selling the fittingly named Evora Sport 410 (for its 400 horse output) in America. It's possible we may see a lower-end model as well without the supercharger or with a smaller engine. No matter what though, great-sounding Lotuses are in our future.
