This unrestored Lotus Elite is being offered as a project for recommissioning.

The vendor tells us that it ran and drove until around 10 years ago and has been parked up since then.

It has a galvanised chassis from the factory.

The car was registered in August 1979 and is showing circa 46,500 miles on its odometer.

Its last MoT expired in July 2006 after having been tested the previous year at an indicated 46,510 miles.

The only paperwork with the Lotus is its V5C.
