1972 Lotus Elan Sprint FHC with only 52000 miles For Sale
A fascinating history file accompanies the little coupe and includes a record of all journeys from 1979 at 23, 377 miles through to December 1985 at 47, 133 miles, showing just how cherished this car has been. In the years that followed, the car was only lightly used after being restored, as by 2007 the mileage indicated was still just 48, 000, and to date is only 52, 500. There are MOT Certificates from 2006 to 2018, plus numerous invoices for work/ maintenance/ parts (from 2002 up to 2018, totalling almost £15, 000) from specialists Christopher Neil Lotus, Paul Matty Sports Cars, and QED Motorsport Ltd. Furthermore, there are specific invoices from 2008 that indicate further restoration, plus £3, 131 spent with Paul Matty in 2012 for various maintenance items. The Lotus still looks superb and the bodywork is in very good condition with just a few minor blemishes to the stunning Pistachio Green paintwork. The interior is also in very good condition with a superb dashboard and with the original Colin Chapman signed steering wheel still fitted. The car has been recently serviced at 52, 498 miles and has also had a new clutch fitted. The car drives really well and always gets lots of attention. When not being used it is kept dry in my dehumidified garage and is only used occasionally and only on dry sunny days. Please call me on the details below if you would like any more information.
