Vehicle Description
For sale: A highly desirable 1961 Lotus Elite SE Series 2, an exceptional example of British automotive engineering. This rare classic is powered by a freshly rebuilt 1,216 cc Coventry Climax FWE four-cylinder engine with a 5-bearing single overhead cam. Power is transferred through the sought-after German ZF full synchro 4-speed gearbox. Enhanced with twin Weber 40 DCOE carburetors and equipped with dual Heuer Trackstar dash timers, this right-hand drive Elite offers a truly engaging driving experience. This car was fully restored in the UK before being imported to Canada, and is now titles in the US . As the first production car with a fiberglass monocoque body, this Elite boasts a prestigious history, having attended Goodwood, Cobble Beach, and Amelia Island events. With only around 1,030 units produced between 1958 and 1963, this Elite SE Series 2 is a rare and coveted collector's item. |
