Lotus Elan Sprint 70K miles, engineer owned 23yr SOLD (1973) | | | Not for sale - it has been sold via a Car and Classic Free Ad | 73 sprint DHC yellow over white. I have had it for 23 years. But it now seems to do ~200 miles per MOT, but is kept in tip top mechanical condition (i'm a qualified engineer). Galvanized chassis, engine rebuilt at 60K by specialist "Twincam techniques", with VJ5 road cams (TT36 profile). Good DDuck Roof (10 years old but I never use it ! .. as kept in dry warm garage). Full ownership history, full detailed history approx last 30 years (fat folder). Negatives: the body was respayed about 25 years ago was Blue, and at same time had some fibre glass done on passenger sill area... is not perfect. So Paint / body OK - i'd say everyday usable but not concourse. Still very presentable hence no need for body work (unless v anal :-) ).... I am not one who insists on keeping to 1970's standards - I prefer using sensible (yet UNSEEN) upgrades. My aim has been to keep it as 'everyday usable' as possible. So it has VJ5 cams (gen 130BHP but still 100% driveable), recent alternator, (pic shows Dynamo - now in box of spares). replacement servo (lockhead: which is obtainable) , braided brake hoses, modern tyres (Rally R680, correct section), Koni rear shox, immobiliser, Luminition, 3 core rad. Toneau (water proof cover for interior. Box of spares.
